FASCISM HAS REPLACED AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: BLAME THE ROUNDTABLE
By Fahim A. Knight-EL
This article is titled Fascism Has Replaced American Democracy: Blame the Roundtable." This author has been intensely studying the recent economic meltdown of the United States economy, in particular and the world economy in general, and the more things that are being revealed politically, economically, and socially, it is important for me to at least, make every attempt to assess and evaluate the trends by referencing and accessing some of the scholars and social scientist whom this writer respect based on their works and their commitment to peruse the truth; even if that pursuit went against the popular version of the truth. I could not find any other scholarly instruments, which by to analyze and measure these recent reactionary trends and determine where these chess boards’ moves fit. Thus, other than relying on the perspectives of these alternative historians and their worldview in order to make some sense out of this controlled confusion that is presently plaguing our society. So once again this writer called on intellectuals who were well versed in decoding the hidden symbolism and analyzing the agenda of the invisible Roundtable, the real Shakers and Movers that possess unlimited power to direct every facet of world society. These are some very dangerous time we are living in and they have become even more dangerous in that the United States Government has transitioned into a Fascist Government and this will surely impact Americans domestically, but it will inevitably affect the entire global society.

Wikipedia quoting Roger Griffin stated "Fascism is a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti conservative nationalism. As such it is an ideology deeply bound up with modernization and modernity, one which has assumed a considerable variety of external forms to adapt itself to the particular historical and national context in which it appears, and has drawn a wide range of cultural and intellectual currents, both left and right, anti-modern and pro-modern, to articulate itself as a body of ideas, slogans, and doctrine. In the inter-war period it manifested itself primarily in the form of an elite-led "armed party" which attempted, mostly unsuccessfully, to generate a populist mass movement through a liturgical style of politics and a programme of radical policies which promised to overcome a threat posed by international socialism, to end the degeneration affecting the nation under liberalism, and to bring about a radical renewal of its social, political and cultural life as part of what was widely imagined to be the new era being inaugurated in Western civilization. The core mobilizing myth of fascism which conditions its ideology, propaganda, style of politics and actions is the vision of the nation's imminent rebirth from decadence." (Reference: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia online; “Fascism”).
The above definition of Fascism is a bit complex and perhaps for the layperson and may be difficult to follow, but let me simplify it for my readers; Fascism is an authoritarian, anti-democratic, anti-communist system of government in which economic control by the state, militaristic nationalism, propaganda, and the crushing of opposition by means of secret police emphasize the supremacy of the state over the individual. There are three main areas that define the characterization of a Fascist state—a heavy dose of Nationalism, Corporatism, Totalitarianism, and Militarism. This writer will ask the readers to follow the recent history from 9/11 and keep in mind that a Fascist Government is built on the above basic four oppressive premises, but it is not limited in total scope to these four ideological properties of Nationalism, Corporatism, Totalitarianism, and Militarism—these are the foundation blocks in which permeates the most extreme repression and oppression that will be implored by the Fascist to control every facet of humanity’s existence. The difference is that past Fascist movements functioned more from a regional and local (their country, nation and legal protectorates) standpoint, but this is not to suggest and/or imply that past Fascist leaders and movements did not have political and military aspirations which to expand their Fascist ideology beyond their national boarders.
These well known Fascist leaders no doubt had those type aspirations—Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, José Antonio Primo de Rivera y Sáenz de Heredia, Plínio Salgado, etc. But these hidden Roundtable leaders such as David Rockefeller, Harry Oppenheimer, Baron Eric de Rothschild, Karl von Habsburg, Juan Carlos, Edgar M. Bronfman, Sr., Lord Peter Carrington, etc., are the ones behind the American Fascist agenda, in reality, it is their agenda to continue to place invisible chains around all of humanity. Thus, unlike the above Fascist dictators these Roundtable dictators are not using military tanks and armament to subject and capture and overpower their enemy, but these invisible rulers do not have to raise a national flag, as a symbol of occupation by a superior military force over a weaker nation. The Roundtable has clandestinely colonized the entire planet and is much more dangerous than all past, present and future Fascist put together. (Texe Marrs: The Circle of Intrigue: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy”).
Gary Allen and Larry Abraham “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” stated, “That conspiracy of internationalist manipulators is still in place toady. Its members continue to dominate the highest councils of our government—regardless of whether a ‘liberal’ Democrat or a ‘conservative’ Republican occupies the White House. These elitist occupy the most powerful positions in banking, network, television, important magazines and newspapers, tax-free foundations, and more. They seek the same thing today that they did eleven years ago: centralized power, planned economies, and redistribution of the wealth (with themselves doing the redistributing. These are the men (and women) responsible for the warfare/welfare that has dominated the West for over forty years. They have subsidized the industrialization of the Soviet Union (with our taxes and our technology), and now they are doing the same thing with Communist China. They have led our nation into two ‘no win’ wars in Korea and Vietnam, plus scores of lesser ‘brush’-fires’ around the world. There are some who contend that all the failures, setbacks and defeats for freedom in the past fifty years are simply the result of ‘accident.’ They blame poor planning, faulty execution, weak intelligence—or, in some cases, they credit an almost invincible enemy.” (Reference: Gary Allen and Larry Abraham; “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” pg. 5).
This writer has had a relationship with the Gullah Sentinel and the Sovereign Mind broadcasters in which a few days ago the discussion centered on whether not America had concentration camps. This writer explained to the audience that there have been Concentration Camps for a very long time inside America, in fact, William Cooper in his monumental book titled, "Behold a Pale Horse" wrote about these designations in the deserts of America. The Vietnam Era and the Civil Rights Era of the 1960s and the rebellions (what the uninformed masses who uses the oppressor's lexicon called riots) were the final response to a powerful Fascist oppressor who had his foot on the necks of African American people in the 1960s and the answer to this type white supremacy subjugation was violent rebellions; people that were oppressed acted to remove the forces of oppression by any means necessary. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was preaching integration and non-violence to the most violent people on the planet earth; thus, he was not speaking a language they understood. (Reference: Martin Luther King; “The Trumpet of Conscience: Why I opposed the Vietnam War”).
The Radical left, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (once it was led by Kwame Ture aka Stokley Carmichael and later by H. Rap Brown aka Jamil El-Amin), the Black Panther Party, Deacons of Self-Defense, the Black Stone Rangers, Nation of Islam, the Black Liberation Army, etc., these militant and radical leaders and groups radicalize a segment of the Civil Rights message, which transitioned into the black liberation movements for total freedom, justice and equality for blacks and all oppressed people in general. Also, there were my two heroes George Jackson and Jonathan Jackson—the Soledad Brothers, etc., that were talking and writing about the nature and brutality of American Fascism forty years ago. (Reference: George L. Jackson; “Blood In My Eye”).
This created a dangerous time in America and former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover under Cointelpro initiatives and Black folk loveable President John F. Kennedy were conspiring and planning against the best interest of African Americans, in particular how they were going to deal with black radical militant dissidents and all anti-government dissidents in general. These Concentration camps were established for Blacks, when ever we again decided to violently rebel against the United States Government and the Establishment; their option would be to confine us to isolated concentration camps in remote places inside America and outside America. Now! They have passed two most important pieces of legislation in the history of the United States, the United States Patriot Act and the Military Commission Act. These reactionary legislative acts have rendered the United States Constitution to a worthless piece of paper. For example, you are witnessing how the so-called Arab terrorists are being denied DUE PROCESS; they have set everything in motion to deal with the today's Dissident by having every legal tool at their disposal to combat dissent.
This writer was taught and mentored by a highly intelligent college professor named Dr. Earlie Thorpe he was great intellectual and a damn good historian who received a Ph.D. from Ohio State University and later in his academic career became an exponent and an authority in the field of psychohistory. He taught history at North Carolina Central University and back in the early 1970s Harvard University use to fly Dr. Thorpe from Durham, North Carolina to Boston twice a week to teach history courses at this prestigious Ivy League University.
Dr. Thorpe had written nine scholarly books and had published numerous scholarly articles; he was definitely an authority on the black experience, He taught a course called intellectual history, in which the course had no intellectual boundaries, it was a free-for-all intellectual exercise in ideas. The discussions could range from aspects of world history, economic history, political history, social history, etc. But Dr. Thorpe taught me something very important, which is going to be the basis of this article on Fascism, it was that when an economic system can no longer expand and produce that system becomes obsolete and essentially dies. For example, when Feudalism could no longer expand and produce it was replaced by pre-industrialism and later with the industrial revolution.
The Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 ushered in the Socialist and Communist ideology and for seven-two (72) years Economic Determination Theories had swept most all of Eastern Europe; in particular those nations that came under the former Soviet Union Iron Curtain and was aligned under the Warsaw Pact Nations. This writer can recall people reading Karl Marx "Das Capital" and Joseph Lenin, as well as Stalin; they became the international faces associated with the socialist ideology. But in 1989 Socialism met it demise; not as theory of relevance, but like all past economic systems; when the socialist economic system no longer could expand and produce and meet the new demands of the Global Market and the Global economy that were being driven by technology, it faded. However, it served of vital necessity during the Cold War period where international bankers once again used panic and fear (the illusion of Communism versus Capitalism) to create a system of militarism, which the socialist ideology generated huge markets for weaponry and war machinery—this equally benefited North Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO) who represented the Capitalist interest in Western Europe and the United States. (Reference: Ernest Mandel; “An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory”).
All ideologies are created to make money for the few while the ignorant masses debated the principles of scientific socialism versus the so-called free market propaganda being espoused by capitalism; the invisible beneficiaries have always been the hidden Roundtable. Thus, unbeknown to most, the United States and the world were slowly being led toward Fascism in its purest form, as many applauded the Soviet Union so-called political and economic collapse in 1989, most of us did not suspect that there was something a lot more sinister to follow—Fascism. Twelve years later President George Bush, a low-level operative of the Roundtable and the United States Government had meticulously and systematically set the transition in motion to shift and alter the historical gains and the freedoms the U.S. Government obtained and secured from its fight and ultimately liberation from the historical tyrannical rule of Great Britain (United Kingdom) pursuant to America's Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This was further culminated at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1784 and the framing of the United States Constitution, which lit the torch for American Democracy. (Reference: Paul Foster Case; “The Great Seal of the United States: Its History, Symbolism and the Message for the New Age”).
Bush with his reactionary public policy has turned back the clock of time by working with all levels of Government—the United States Congress, Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. State Department, National Security, U.S. Defense Department, U.S. Justice Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, etc., and of course taking orders from the ever occurring powerful forces of the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, and the Trilateral Commission, the true Sovereign Rulers of the world who orchestrates all the world events and must give their approval and consent of any and all moves, made by their low-level operatives. It is their decisions that are driving the restructuring of the United States and the world. This writer continues to maintain that nothing of world economic, political and social significance takes place without their nod and approval. (Reference: John Coleman; “Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The story of the Committee of 300”).
Robin Williams, Jr. in an article titled, “Prejudice and Society” stated, “When ever a number of persons within a society have enjoyed for a considerably period of time certain opportunities for getting wealth, for exercising power certain opportunities for getting wealth, for exercising power and authority, and for successfully claiming prestige and social deference, there is a strong tendency for these people to feel that these benefits are theirs ‘by right.’ The advantages come to be thought of as normal, proper, customary, as sanctioned by time, precedent and social consensus. Proposals to change the existing situation arouse reactions of ‘moral indignation.’ Elaborate doctrines are developed to show the inevitability and rightness of the existing scheme of things. An established system of vested interests is a powerful thing, perhaps especially when differences in power, wealth and prestige coincide with relatively indelible symbols of collective membership, such as shared hereditary physical traits, a distinctive religion, or a persistently held culture. The holders of an advantaged position see themselves as a group and reinforce one another in their attitudes; and qualms about the justice of the status quo seem to be diminished by the group character of the arrangements. (Reference: John P. Davis; ed. “American Negro Reference Book” pg. 727-729).
The New World Order had been systematically dismissed by the same forces that control all the sources of propaganda machines in which manipulate and deceive the masses (whom they refer to as useless eaters). Fascism has to be under girded by a sense of nationalism which was imposed by the Roundtable, creating the September 11, 2001 hoax as a diversionary tactic; they systematically orchestrated the so-called vicious and violent attack on the World Trade Center in New York and ultimately on the American people and then blaming so-called foreign radical, militant Islamic extremist that were falsely portrayed being bent on carrying out Jihad against the West. The United States Government immediately classified the staged hoax as a terrorist attack and declared one enemy responsible—Islam and Muslims. (Reference: A. Ralph Epperson; “The New World Order”
The Roundtable understood that they had to generate enough fear, panic and uncertainty into the American people, which to create psychological vulnerability in the American people and at the same time, deplete them of being able to make any rationale sense of the matter by consistently feeding the ignorant masses a heavy dose of Osama Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda propaganda, as well as painted Arabs and Islam as being our enemy who posed an eminent threat to our National Security Interest. These well crafted and deceptive ploys rendered the American people defenseless and the United States Government convinces them that they needed to be protected at all cost. The government deception led the American citizens into surrendering their civil liberties because so-called national safety became the top priority. Thus, in essence, the so-called war on terrorism supplied the U.S. Government with the ammunition to set the stage for the Fascist agenda.
The Congressional passing of the United States Patriot Act, which represented the first step in the Fascist plan; this legislation would replace the United States Constitution which was viewed by the Fascist agenda as a liability and not as an asset because it had too much language of protection and bestowed the U.S. citizens with certain legal buffers and provided a sense of jurisprudence entitlement to the American people. The Constitution would posed serious obstacles to the new governmental agenda that would eventually upend the American system of Separation of Powers (the basis of American Democracy); the goal was to grant the Executive Branch of government with all the power and create a legal atmosphere which would allow the president to function with complete sovereignty and autonomy; with unanswerable unilateral authority to make decisions without any accountability during peace time and in war time, and without having the interference from the other branches of government in his decision making process. The Fascist mentality has nothing but uttered contempt for the masses of the people.
After 9/11 the Roundtable used its low level operatives and stripped the American people of all its civil liberties—the state was giving supreme powers to spy and eavesdrop on its citizens telephone conversations without justifiable causes and without legal warrants, the state could conduct illegal searches and seizures without due cause, state could conduct arrest without the benefit of bail and could hold a defendant in custody indefinitely, the state took the right of due process and equal protection of the law that was guaranteed under the United States Constitution away from the people, etc., and under the Forfeiture and Seizure Act—the state could freeze and confiscate citizens money and assets with little rights to appeal.
The United States Government duped the American people into believing that they were fighting a war on a new frontier defined as terrorism and the enemy was Islam or what they like to call radical Islam—created a false enemy in order to move the masses of the people toward a newfound sense of American Nationalism and Patriotism, which is the first ideological step in creating a Fascist governmental order and structure. The American people foolishly thought that the U.S. Patriot Act was designed and implemented to protect and give the United States Military Apparatus the needed political, military and legal jurisdiction to combat alleges foreign and domestic terrorism. But the true intended victims of the U.S. Patriot Act wasn’t necessarily the so-called militant radical Islam, it was more aimed at replacing the United States Constitution and would be the legal tool that gave the U.S. Government unchecked authority and powers to demand total obedience from its citizens and be in a position to enforce these new laws without having to be concerned about dealing with legal opposition.
The people turned all their rights over to the state. Do not this sound a lot like Italy under the Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini? They also have robbed the people of their “Bill of Rights” and the RIGHT TO BEAR FIREARMS this is the right that Government desire to limit and is working to rescind; they must render the people defenseless—they desire to have all the guns and the people have nothing to defend themselves against these black boot Gestapo that is soon headed our way. President Bush clearly told us “either you are with us or you are against us” perhaps this statement had a lot more political implications; other than some propaganda statement of lining up Allies in 2004 for the invasion of Iraq or was it more of a Fascist statement of declaration and serving notice. The militarism aspect was an appeal to the raw emotions and ignorance of the American people in which the government asserted that Saddam Hussein and Iraq (used as gofers) were systematically tied into being apart of a militant radical Islamic cell and were allege to have been connected to Osama bin Laden and the AL Qaeda Movement who had declared war against us good Americans in the name of Allah and Islam.
The America people and the United Nations Security Council by all accounts to date had been misled by the Bush Administration about the facts surrounding the reasoning why the United States declared war against Iraq—there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction found and former Secretary of State Colin Powell who presented the war case to the world, was used as a political tool of manipulation. The Fascist had one objective which was stealing oil and nothing else mattered. So they crafted a need for military build-up and justified it by defining what they called the new war—terrorism (coded language for war on Islam and Muslims) and tried to present the tiny nations of Iraq and Afghanistan as formidable enemies of the West, which needed to be dealt with decisively. (Reference: Scott McClellan; “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception”).
The American people and the world were duped by this manipulation. However, the long range goal was to construct a Western and Eastern military alliance using the so-called new war propaganda—terrorism as the primary motivational factor of galvanizing the nations of earth and at the same time ignoring the international organizational structure of the United Nations. The Fascist succeeded because the United Nations Weapons Inspectors did not verify nor substantiate that the nation of Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction, but the war went forward like a locomotive train—non stop. The other ulterior motive was to turn the clock back on the Geneva Convention and render the international polices and procedures (Laws and Rules) that govern war and prisoners of war as obsolete and needed to be redefine.
The Arabs and Islam/Muslims became the first prisoners of war since the 1949 establishment of the Geneva Convention that had no international or legal protection pursuant to Geneva Convention rules and were not covered under the rules of the International Courts (refer to Muslim Prisoners of War held at Gautama Bay, Cuba) . The United States were looking to resolve military matters of so-called foreign enemies by trialing them in United States Federal Jurisdictions and under the American Jurisprudence system—how in the hell would this be an impartial hearing for prisoners declared as U.S. prisoners of war. This was the next level of completing the Fascist Agenda. The Military has unlimited powers working in conjunction with U.S. Homeland Security at the discretion and pleasure of the Executive Branch (the president). (Reference: George Tenet; “At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA”).
The next level of the Fascist Agenda was manipulating Corporatism and we have watched this play out with a $750 billion dollar bailout of private banks and last week Secretary Henry Paulson of the U.S. Treasury Department announced essential that the United States Government were purchasing interest in private banks.
Thus, just reason with me, most people in the United States believe that the Federal Reserve is a "Federal Agency" and that it is owned and control by the US Government. Lets for a minute accept that as the truth (of course those who are awake and study know that is the furthest thing from the truth). But for a moment accepted this notion as the truth; the US Government is acquiring banking and financial institutions that even after the government bailout they are still functioning on some level. My college Professor Dr. Earlie Thorpe who taught me social science and history would have no problems defining this bailout as a form of nationalization; Dr. Thorpe talked extensively about Karl Marx (“Communist Manifesto”) and the concept of socialism. He taught us that Socialism was an economic system where as the majors means of production and distribution was control and owned by the State (or government which translate to mean owned by the majority of the people) and back then the former USSR was considered the model nation for a communist (socialist) society. (Reference: Eustace Mullins; “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve”).
Now! At least in theory, within socialist economic system—the people are supposed to share in the wealth and resources that is acquired and amassed by the State. But check these vipers out, the Federal Reserve (the state) in acquiring private base financial institutions is a form of NATIONALIZATION (the state own and/or taxpayers are the true owners in theory of these acquisitions). But unlike under the socialist government the people have acquired business assets that they will receive no dividends or shares from this form of socialism or better yet neo-capitalism or better yet Totalitarianism . This is a sham and the fat cats are laughing at us and still making money. Taxpayers are paying a tab for crooks that have made billions and they did not share those profits with the masses. We should be outraged.
The final stage of the Fascist Agenda is to correlate all the previous Fascist stages and synthesize them into one formal body under Fascism—Nationalism, Corporatism, Militarism and beneath the umbrella of Totalitarianism will be how each component will function, which completes their control and enslavement over humanity. The United States has clearly become a Fascist Agenda nation based on the massive passing of reactionary legislation, laws, enactments, policies, procedures, rules, etc., has granted the government complete and authoritative hegemony, as well as dictatorial control over our lives and lives of the global community. This perhaps was an essential step in fulfilling the establishment of a one World Government, which has been the aim of the Roundtable every since 1967.
President Bush has brought this reality closer than any other low-level operative in the history of this agenda. The people do not have a clue to what is coming down the pipe and do not even know that they have handed over our precious government to the wickedly wise who has nothing but uttered contempt for the masses of humanity. This is a working definition of Totalitarianism and this writer want the readers to critically and objectively assess and evaluate what I have written and you make the determination if the United States Government fits the definition of being a Totalitarian Government—“of , relating to, being, or imposing a form of government in which the political authority exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life, the individual is subordinated to the state, and opposing political and cultural expression is suppressed: "A totalitarian regime crushes all autonomous institutions in its drive to seize the human soul."

HIRAM ABIFF: SYMBOLIC OF THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA
"HIRAM ABIFF: SYMBOLIC OF THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA"
THE MASTER BUILDER
By Fahim A. Knight-El
Freemasonry as many may know, is a very vague and complex subject and this writer doesn't think you can exhaust the depth and/or magnitude of this topic in a 5000 word article or by writing a huge number of manuscripts; it is just to extensive of a subject for any one writer or body of researchers to claim absolute and complete definitiveness. It is much larger than the Masonic Scholars such as: Albert Pike, Jacob Boehme, Manly P. Hall, Albert Churchward, Albert G. Mackey, Edward Arthur Waite, Prince Hall, Francis Bacon, John Yarker, Joseph Walkes, JSM Ward, J.D. Buck, Robert MaCoy, George Oliver, W.L. Wilmshurst, John Robinson, Frantz Hartmann, James Morgan, Robert Taylor, Kersey Graves, Gerald Massey, Watten Scott, Alvin Boyd Khun, G.R.S Mead, Thomas Taylor, Spencer H. Lewis, H.P. Blavatsky, J. Van Rijckenbough, Edouard Schure, etc. The Speculative Science and social science of studying Freemasonry as a discipline is wide opened for various scientific, as well as creative interpretations and analysis based on the subject being rooted in symbolism, metaphors, allegory, similes, and expressed in parables, understood in the esoteric, viewed in the metaphysical and made intelligible by its sublime rituals. What then is Freemasonry? According to most of the Masonic authorities; defined, “Masonry as a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols” (Reference: Manly P. Hall; “Secret Teachings of All Ages”).
This writer was recently contacted via email by a gentleman named Wayne T. Muhammad, this writer is assuming that he was a Muslim (perhaps a follower of the Nation of Islam and Minister Louis Farrakhan), but he had a deep interest in an article that this writer had written titled, "Freemasonry (Moslem Sons) and Islam What Do They Share?" This author wrote the article approximately three years ago (2005), but he did not web publish the article until December 2007 and by far, it has been one of my most celebrated writings, which has received tremendous attention from scholars, Freemasons, Muslims, non-Muslims and just from ordinary people who may have interest in alternative historical views and/or enjoy New Age type subjects. (Reference: Fahim A. Knight-EL; "Freemasonry (Moslem Sons) and Islam What Do They Share?").
There is really no correct and/or incorrect way to explore and approach a Speculative Masonic topic; Speculative Masonry must-be clearly delineated from Operative Masonry—the former is best associated with Masonic intellectual ideas and philosophical interpretations (the Seven Liberal Arts—astronomy, music, geometry, arithmetic, logic, rhetoric and grammar) and the latter is best linked with Guild Workers seen through the lens of the five schools of architect—Doric, Ionic, Composite, Tuscan, Corinthian and the physical sciences of building. Thus, from this understanding and thought, this writer would first ask the readers to reason with me as I pursue some of the history of Hiram Abiff who was perhaps the greatest Grand Master of the Masonic theory and one of the essential and key foundation blocks upon which Freemasonry rest upon. (Reference: Henry Wilson Coil; “Coil’s Masonic Encyclopedia”).
The history and legend of Grand Master Hiram Abiff gives life and meaning to Freemasonry as a fraternity and as a philosophical school of thought. A. E. Waite, in his “New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry”, makes the following comment: "The legend of the Master-Builder is the great allegory of Masonry. It happens that his figurative story is grounded in the fact of a personality mentioned in Holy Scripture, but this historical background is of the accidents and not the essence; the significance is in the allegory and in any point of history which may lie behind it.” (Reference: A. E. Waite; “New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry’).
This writer had actually started writing this article perhaps over ten (10) years ago, which he had explained to Mr. Wayne Muhammad and after having numerous email communications with him, he sparked enough of my curiosity to revisited this subject and offer it as a finished scholarly product. Muhammad was actually doing some research of his own, but this writer never asked exactly what he was doing; this writer just offered him the assistance that he requested. However, looking metaphorically at the Masonic character Hiram Abiff from the standpoint of an allegorical legend; there is no doubt, that one could draw a direct and plausible parallel between the Hiram Abiff legend and the history of Africans (African American experience and their 450 year sojourn in America) that were brought from the continent of Africa as slaves to the Americas. (Reference: Alauddin Shabazz; “Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs”).
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad in a work edited by Nasir Makr Hakim titled, “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad” quoted Muhammad as stating, “The Masonic ritual of the death of Hiram, the Widow son, has no record in the great light of Masonry, the Bible. It is the symbolic reminder of the deviltry carried on by the devil in most recent history. This part of the Masonic ritual was added in 1725, along with the book of the Masonic Constitution prepared by the Rev. Jones Anderson. The proof of the absence of the story in their Bible as a true happening may be found in the Bible 1st Kings 7th chapter, 13th verse. You will see there that Hiram finished the work he was suppose to do for Solomon, yet according to the ritual of the third degree (death of Hiram) you will notice that Hiram was still putting work on the trestle board for the fellow craftsmen when he was attacked by the Ruffians: Jubelo, Jebula, Jubelum. These three are symbolized as ENGLAND, FRANCE and AMERICA”. (Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim; “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad”).
Muhammad continues, “The east gate is Africa, the west gate is the West Indies, and the north comer of the Temple is North America. The U.S.A., England, and France did enslave the Black man, but America is the one who killed him, by fixing him so he would not have any knowledge of himself, and then gave him the name Negro and buried him in the graveyard of the King James version of the Bible. The fact that he was hit in the head with a setting maul shows that in the head he died, so that he is mentally dead. Because of this fact, a name was made up for him from the Greek language to fit him (Necro) also spelled (Negro), this word means dead. However, the Germanic inflection in the mixed tongues, the "C," was pronounced as a "G," and Necro became Negra in the south and Negro in the north of the country”. (Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim; “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad”).
The Holy Qur’an in a chapter (Sura) titled, "AL NUR: The Light " gives these profound and beautiful words stated, “Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. A likeness of His light is a pillar on which is a lamp—the lamp is in a glass, the glass is as it were a brightly shinning star—lit from blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof gives light, though fire touch it not—light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He pleases. And Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Knower of all things.”(Reference: Muhammad Ali: Holy Qur’an translation Sura 24:35 subtitled, “Manifestation of Divine Light”)
This writer researched and found some very interesting words from a speech delivered by Minister Louis Farrakhan, leader of Nation of Islam back on October 30, 1983 at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland. This article will heavily reference and use citations from the teachings of the Nation of Islam's history, theology and worldview in order to present this subject on Hiram Abiff and its correlation to the black experience in America. The Nation of Islam is perhaps the only organization that has consistently taught on and drawn this parallel between Hiram Abiff and the so-called black man and black woman in America. The majority of the black Masonic Lodges in the United States are oblivious to this connection because even after many of them are raised in the Blue Lodge—they still lack the knowledge of self. (Reference: Malachi Z. York; “The Problem Book”).
Their counterpart the Caucasian Masonic brethren truly know and understand that this symbolic history has a much deeper meaning than the obvious and truly knows who Hiram Abiff represents in the scheme of history and it is this covert duality that this writer will partially be focusing on. There is always the question that is posed to the Masonic traveler: Which way are you are traveling? “The answer; is giving ordinarily from this perspective; “I am traveling from East to West in search of light (or more) light in Masonry.” It is from this premise that will set the basis of my thesis relative to the African American Masons, which the largest and majority belongs to the Prince Hall Masonic body known as Free and Accepted Masons (F&AM) (the most influential black Masonic Order in the United States), but there are others who are members of white Masonic lodges/orders known as Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF&AM). The East is the home of the Asiatic Black man (the original man) in which all knowledge and wisdom originated; therefore, when asked that question, which way are you are traveling; he should state, “I am already at home the East is where all the ancient wisdom originated and there is no need for me to travel from the East to the West in search of light.” (Reference: Joseph Walkes; “Black Square and Compass: 200 Years of Prince Hall Freemasonry”).
Minister Farrakhan stated: stated: “Dear beloved this is your time. You are more than what you think you are. So let me take the next few minutes to say these few words to you about you. You see you have thought all these years that you were nothing because you were Black, and you felt you were Black cause you were cursed. But you did not know that you are the original people of the Earth, and I will defy the scholars, the geneticists, the biologists, the historians, the anthropologists, to disprove that if the Black man were not here you have no source for your life. We are your fathers and your mothers and you have dishonored the very people that have produced you. No, no, it's not racism it's just fact. You know that their fathers taught you history, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, law, government, every discipline their fathers gave to your fathers when you were uncivilized in Europe on your all fours. It was a black man that brought you up out of that condition. This is the thanks we get. You have robbed your own people of correct knowledge that would have allowed young White students to have a genuine appreciation for Blacks. You would not teach your own the value of these Black people, though you go in secret in your Masonic lodges and in your shrines and you learn about us behind the closed doors. (Reference: Louis Farrakhan speeches edited by Joseph D. Eure and Richard Jerome; “Farrakhan, Back Where We Belong: Selected Speeches by Louis Farrakhan”).
Minister Farrakhan continues: You talk about you want integration, you want to integrate Morgan into the University of Maryland, but you will not integrate the Black Masons and Shriners into your white shrines and your White Masonry. You won't integrate that, and the mason you won't integrate that is because you know that the Black Masons have oleo and you have got butter. You know that in your lodge you are studying about Hiram, and they don't know that they are Hiram, the master architect that got hit in the head, carried away and buried in the North corner in a shallow grave where no light shines. But someone came to raise him up and didn't have the proper grip, it took a master grip to pull him up because he's a master and he needs a master to pull up a master. All of that is talking about you, the Prodigal Son, the lost sheep, the people of God, the people that the book says would be in bondage in a strange land for 400 years, but after that time God would come after you and raise you up and make a nation out of you, and make you leaders in the Earth. This is what they don't want you to know, that you are to supplant their rule because their time is up, their rule is wicked and unjust. The Bible says this is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our sight. Only God could take a foolish people and confound the wise. He would take a people that were no people at all and He would bring to naught the things which are by the things which have no existence. Here you are a people of no existence, a people that the world has brought to naught and here these sophisticated men of science who study how to psyche the mind and mess up the public and guide them like sheep, but their stuff don't work anymore on the foolish people. (Reference: Louis Farrakhan speeches edited by Joseph D. Eure and Richard Jerome; “Farrakhan, Back Where We Belong: Selected Speeches by Louis Farrakhan”).
The hidden truth behind the symbolic and mythological character of Hiram Abiff is, perhaps the foremost world's best kept secret. The Master Masons or third degree recite the history of Grand Master Hiram Abiff as the culmination of the Masonic lessons (there is really no degree higher than the Master Mason Degree). They say Hiram Abiff was/is the greatest Mason ever known, thus he was slain prior to completing the building of King Solomon's Temple. His death was premeditated by fifteen fellow crafts. They saw that the temple was about to be completed and wanted to obtain the secrets of a Master Mason. Knowing these secrets would allow them to travel in foreign countries and receive master's wages. So the fellow crafts conspired to extort the secrets from the Grand Master Hiram Abiff, or take his life. But reflecting with horror on the atrocity of the crime twelve of them recanted; the other three (Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum) persisted in their murderous designs. (Reference: JSM Ward; “Who is Hiram Abiff?”).
Hiram Abiff in truth represents the Black man in North America today. The European nations such as the United Kingdom, America, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Belgian, etc., historically these white world governments plotted against Africa and committed one of the greatest crimes ever recorded in the history of humanity—their vicious and inhumane roles in Chattel Slavery (1555-1865) and the Middle Passage, which led to the social, economic, and political demise of Africa and its people. But America, France, and England are the hidden under the Masonic symbolical names Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, which was foretold by the prophets of old. It was Jewish conspirators who opposed Hiram Abiff and the construction plans of King Solomon's Temple. Elijah Muhammad stated, (Reference: Elijah Muhammad; “The Secret Teachings of Freemasonry”).
In 1555, when the slave ship named Jesus of Leubek voyaged out from the West coast of Africa, it represented demise in the history, culture and social life for the Grand Master Africans or Black man and woman of the world. The Asiatic Black man held the blue prints to human civilizations in their heads. The Grand Master Hiram Abiff according to the legend was slain at high twelve (or high noon); this is not just necessarily talking about the position of the physical Sun, although the Sun plays a huge part in where the Worshipful Master’s station is in the East, Senior Warden (West) and Junior Warden (South) all of these symbolic stations have a direct correlation to how the Sun Rise and Fall. But this allegory had a much more profound interpretation, as representing and an indication of a people that was at the pinnacle of civilization and became displaced. (Reference: John G. Jackson; “Man, God and Civilization”).
The entire system of Freemasonry is much older than the date of 1717, it can be traced back thousands years to African (black) people in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) perhaps the greatest civilization ever recorded in the history of humanity; had set-up the Egyptian Mystery Schools where neophytes were initiated in the high sciences of those who had constructed the great pyramids. Kemet (Egypt) fed Greece and Roman, the great Greek philosophers—Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Pythagoras, etc., sat either directly or indirectly at the foot of wise African Sages and from that knowledge of Kemet (Egypt) they enlightened all of Europe. (Reference: George G.M. James; “Stolen Legacy”).
The Kemitic (Egyptians) had mastered science, medicine, architect, art, philosophy chemistry, religion (spirituality), etc. The story of Hiram Abiff, the Widow’s Son was borrowed from the ancient story of Osiris (Asar), Isis (Aset), and Horus (Huru); (the Father, Son and Holy Ghost)—the birth, death, resurrection and ascension that we attribute to Hiram Abiff, it was actually predated by some thousands of years by the Osirian Myth, even before the advent of Isa bin Yusuf or Yeshua ben Yosef (better known in the West as Jesus Christ—the so-called Son of God). These legends are rooted in the Sun God and Solar God concepts. For example, right-minded historians and social scientists have traced these rituals and customs back to the worship of the Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice; in fact Kersey Graves in his monumental book titled, “The World Sixteen Crucified Saviors” he listed at least sixteen World Saviors that had the exact same identical advents attributed to their lives that we have associated with Yeshua ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph). (Reference John G. Jackson; “Introduction to African Civilization”).
These folklore and mythological stories are rooted in lessons of the immortality of the soul. This is no more evident than when a Master Mason is raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the square—90 degrees upright. Hiram Abiff—born, died, resurrected and ascended and the Masonic legend owes its origin to Kemet (Ancient Egypt) this is where the mythological teachings originated. This writer has an audio tape of Dr. Chancellor Williams author of the book “Destruction of Black Civilization” gave a talk titled, “Christianity Before Christ” (yes there was Christianity before Christ) and he too delved into the World Saviors that predated the birth of Christianity. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked perhaps the most essential question: Who is the original man? Answer: The Asiatic Black man the maker, the owner, the cream of the planet earth father of civilization, God of the Universe. (Reference: Naim Akbar; “Know Thy Self”).
It is taught in the Masonic ritual that Hiram Abiff’s usual practice at that hour, while the craft were from labor to refreshment, to enter into the unfinished 'Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies' of the Temple and there offer up his adoration to the Deity and draw his designs on the trestle board. The three fellow crafts who persisted in their murderous designs, knowing this to be his usual practice, placed themselves at the South, West, and east gates of the inner courts of the temple, and there awaited his (Hiram Abiff) return. The Grand Master, Hiram Abiff, having finished his usual exercises, attempted to retire by the South gate when he was accosted by Jubela, who thrice demanded of him the secrets of a master Mason, or the master's word, and on his being refused, gave him a blow the twenty-four inch gage across the throat. Allen Roberts states, "when a man's throat is silenced, it is difficult to carry on his activities efficiently. Too often the enemy will endeavor to destroy freedom of speech." (Reference: Allen E. Roberts; “The Craft and its Symbols: Opening the Door to Masonic Symbolism”) and Malcolm Duncan: “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry”).
Hiram Abiff fled and attempted to pass out at the West gate where he was accosted by Jubelo, who in like manner, demanded of him the secrets of a master Mason, or the master's word, and on his being refused, gave him a blow with the square across on his breast. Mr. Robert states, "others will try to maim a person with blows to the heart. The heart is not only a vital organ, but symbolically holds all that is good or divine in man." By dulling or killing this divine light, man becomes useless. Hiram Abiff after this blow across the chest he fled, and attempted to make his escape out at the east gate, where he was accosted by Jubelum, who, in like manner, thrice demanded the secrets of a master Mason, or the master's word. And his like refusal Jebelum dealt him a violent blow with the setting-maul on his forehead, which killed him dead on the spot. Mr. Roberts states, "a blow to the head, or brain, is the worst that man can suffer. It destroys freedom of thought. This creates ignorance. Where there is ignorance, there is despotism. A few control the many. These few use the majority as pawns in their quest for power and more power." (Reference: Allen E. Roberts; “The Craft and its Symbols: Opening the Door to Masonic Symbolism”) and Malcolm Duncan: “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry”).
The Ruffians buried the body in the rubbish of the temple until low twelve or twelve at night, when they met by agreement and carried it a Westerly course from the Temple to the brown of a hill West of Mount Moriah where they buried it in a grave dug due east and West, six feet perpendicular, at the head planted an acacia (evergreen plant), in order The body of our Grand Master was buried three times: first, in the rubbish of the Temple; secondly, on the brow of a hill West of Mount , Moriah; and thirdly and lastly, as near the "Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies," of King Solomon's Temple, as the Jewish law would permit; and Masonic tradition informs us that there was erected to his memory a Masonic monument, consisting of "a beautiful virgin, weeping over a broken column; before her was a book open; in her right hand a spring of acacia, in her left an urn; behind her stands Time, unfolding and counting the ringlets of her hair." The beautiful virgin weeping over the broken column denoted the unfinished state of the Temple, likewise the untimely death of our Grand Master, Hiram Abiff; the book open before her, that his virtues lay on perpetual record; the spring of acacia in her right hand, the divinity of the body; the urn in her left, that his ashes were therein safely deposited, under the "Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies," of King Solomon's Temple. (Reference: Allen E. Roberts; “The Craft and its Symbols: Opening the Door to Masonic Symbolism”) and Malcolm Duncan: “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry”).
The true Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews had its inception rooted in the history of King Solomon. Imam Mustafa El-Amin in his ground breaking research and whom I am so gratefully indebted to, authored perhaps two of the most definitive books titled, “Freemasonry: Ancient Egypt and the Islamic Destiny” and “Islam, Christianity and Freemasonry” as far as analyzing Freemasonry from a Muslim and Islamic perspective; he stands as a pioneer on the subject. EL-Amin characterized the three Conspirators as Jewish Ruffians—Jubela , Jubelo and Jubelum symbolize a gamut of allegorical ideas and cannot be limited to one definitive interpretation. The Biblical Jews historical opposed the ministry Yeshua Ben Josef (Jesus Christ) who was of African descent (a Nubian Hebrew Israelite); in like manner EL-Amin maintained they were the ones who conspired against mythological Hiram Abiff and more importantly opposed the prophet-hood of Solomon, who was sent by Allah. The Jewish Ruffians used the same tools i.e., 24-inch gauge, square, and setting ;maul, thus the same tools used in traveling the first three degrees--l) Entered Apprentice, 2 ) Fellow Craft, 3) Master Mason which were used on two levels i.e., physical construction and spiritual transformation. But the same tools became instruments of physical and spiritual destruction. It teaches us that there is some Ruffian behavior in all of us and oftentimes larceny just lies dormant. (Reference: Mustafa El-Amin; “Freemasonry: Ancient Egypt and the Islamic Destiny”).
The Hiram Abiff mythology is based on a murderous conspiracy, thievery, lies, extortion, and deception in which the Black man became the victim of these historical assaults and atrocities. The Europeans who came to Africa hit the black man (African) in the throat rendering them ineffective in communicating their language, history, culture, norms, folkways, mores, etc., robbed them of the knowledge of self and stripped them of their native tongue—language is the life blood to a people’s connection to a culture and a heritage. Moreover, there were no one present who could articulate the pain and suffering of the poor widow's sons and daughters. This is why history produced a Nat Turner, David Walker, Demark Vesey, Bishop McNeil Turner, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Wali Fard Muhammad, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Louis Farrakhan, etc., these uncompromising leaders reached down in our oppression with the Master Grip and Lion Paw and sought to raised the black man from his social predicament. They were ordained by God to seek freedom, justice and equality for the Asiatic Black man. The European Slave Makers systematically divided the Africans on the slave ships, as well as on the slave plantations whom he recognized were of the same ethnic family. He did not want all Wolof, Ashanti, Mandinkas, Hausas, Fulani, lbo, Ewe etc., communicating amongst each other—with the same tongue (language has the potential to unify people) because of the danger it posed for the conspirators. They strategically cut off our language power. And now the Black man throughout the Diaspora only speaks his colonizers language. Thus this is the first blow that symbolical Hiram suffered; is there no help for the poor widow's son? (Reference:
Mustafa El-Amin; “Islam, Christianity and Freemasonry”).
The square across the chest of Hiram Abiff symbolizes that the Black man and woman was struck by the Slave Makers who desired to make us like themselves—heartless and without love for self and humanity (from my study, a Mason is first made a Mason in their Heart). The Slave masters history is written in blood (kidnap, rape, and murder). They removed the good spirits and souls of the Black man and replaced them with false spiritual inclinations, self hatred, self-denial, dependency and more devastating gave us a White Jesus (God) to place next to our wanting hearts. We must work to recapture the humanity and self-dignity bestowed on us by the Supreme Being. Some of our behavior today is a direct result of what took place yesterday, but psychological repression perhaps dictates some of our present day behavior as a nation—black and white. (Reference: Zachery P. Gremillion: “African Origin of Freemasonry”).
Muhammad stated, “90% of the ministers of the Protestant world are members of the Masonic order, and is something to be appalled at when you know what is going on in the Masonic Lodge, especially when we see that he is a Mason, and is a follower of the devil in their rituals. 1 am speaking of the devils, the Black preachers, the Catholic Church, the so-called holy and otherwise, have their own form of worship of Allah (the Blackman) in such orders as the Knights of Columbus, and the order of Alhambra. Let us consider the Protestant minister who darns the drawer and cable tow and hoodwink of the Masonic brotherhood. Here we see a man who teaches the people of his audience the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ, and that the people must be baptized in the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost (whatever that is). They must believe that Jesus died for their sins. Yet, he goes to the Masonic lodge and declares himself to be a poor blind traveler searching for the light with a rope around his neck in bondage. Within the lodge he takes part in rituals that purposely exclude the name of Jesus, and his title "Son of God" and secretly darn the Fez worn by those who believe that only (Allah) is to be worshipped. The very next Sunday, there he is back in church telling the ignorant people about how Jesus died for their sins. What kind of crazy hypocrisy is this? He teaches about that loving God who gave His son to die for the people and at the same time the minister wears the ring of a traveling man.” (Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim; “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad”).
Their social scientist can give explanations about every pathological aspect of human behavior, but refuses to acknowledge that slavery was a criminal act and it is this denial that will continue to create racial and social tension, in particular in the United States of America. The United States after 400 years of oppression, racism and human injustice has never even had a serious national discussion relative to race. This writer believes that African people today suffers from Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. Those nations that participated in this crime are guilty as charged, but none of their commercial shrinks with their psychological analysis and empirical research data models, have ever spoken about the effect that 310 years of slavery had on the psychological and social development of Black people. Our hearts were sacred until these wicked conspirators brought their foreign and alien culture to the purest people to have ever walked upon the face of the earth and took them as captives. (Reference: Asa G. Hilliard, III; “The Reawaking of the African Mind”).
The final blow to Hiram Abiff was that he was hit in the head with a setting maul in which killed the Master Builder. The Slave Makers stripped the Asiatic Black man of the knowledge of self and literally stole the minds of our African ancestors. This perhaps was the most devastating blow, not only to Hiram Abiff, it was this blow to the head that rendered the Grand Master dead and when you kill a peoples mind (mind is god) and rob them of their humanity—there is nothing more crippling. The Asiatic Black man even in 2008 has yet too psychologically, socially, politically, and economically recuperate from the long term affect of the blow 450 years ago. This blow left African people with historical amnesia (many of them forgot from whence they came). This is why we unconditionally accepted an imposter White Jesus as being God and is drunk off European Christianity because we are out of our minds; we must work to recapture the African mind. Yes, this writer is sorry to inform you that Christianity is the slave master’s religion. (Reference: Naim Akbar; “Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery”).
The African mind is the one that built the pyramids, who also advanced the ideas in mathematics, medicine, astronomy, architecture, agriculture, religion, spirituality, etc. That blow to Hiram's (Black man and woman) head is what made us Negroes or 'the walking dead.' The black Masonic scholars lack the knowledge of self and they are constantly looking to be led by white Masonic Scholars which to write the philosophy and history of Speculative Freemasonry for them. Elijah Muhammad said of all the knowledge that one can acquire; there is none more valuable than acquiring the knowledge of self. He also, said my teachings can be summed up in six words “accept your own and be yourself.” Historians and anthropologist have stated that inscribed and in written in the language of Metu Neter (Hieroglyphics) on all the walls of the pyramids stated, “MAN KNOW THY SELF”. (Reference: Elijah Muhammad; “The Message to the Blackman in America”).
The tribe of Judah must roar once again. Mr. Roberts stated: "It is claimed that Solomon was once symbolic of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. An emulation of his merits, philosophy, love of God, and wisdom will assure his followers of an exemplary life in this world. While living as Solomon did, any man will be able to the grim tyrant of death, and receive him as a kind messenger sent from our Supreme Grand Master, to translate us from this imperfect, to that all perfect, glorious, and celestial lodges above
In all of the Masonic and Shriners travels, they are never going to expose us to true interpretations of what the symbolism really means. Many of the 32nd and 33rd Degree Masons that are Shriners, in particular the Black ones, do not even know where Egypt and Saudi Arabia are on the world map. They are strictly caught up in lodge ritualism and perhaps think that the geographical place in which the Order speaks of does not exist in present day terms. I am not foolish to think and believe that the people who are occupying Egypt and Arabia today are the original people who built world civilization (they are not the original inhabitants of those lands). The Arabs and the Jews are imposters—supplants who have stolen our original birthrights for their own. Dr. Chancellor Williams eloquently writes about this in his book, Destruction of Black Civilization, "these imposters pushed the dark skinned Kimites into Southern Egypt, as well as into Sudan and back down to Ethiopia." (Reference: Chancellor Williams; “Destruction of Black Civilization”).
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us: "Why isn't the devil settled on the best part of the planet Earth? Answer, because the earth belongs to the original Black man and knowing that the devil was wicked and there would not be any peace among them. He put him out in the worst part of the earth and kept) the best preserved for himself ever since he made it. The best part is in Arabia at the holy City Mecca. The colored man or Caucasian is the devil. Arabia is in the far east and is boarded by the Indian Ocean on the South.”. (Elijah Muhammad: “The Student Enrollment lessons”).
The best part of the earth, teaches the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is Mecca (which is North East Africa) and the Muslim Sons (Shriners) and the Muslim followers of Islam are taught to turn to the East for enlightenment and spiritual guidance. But even as they turn symbolically to the mothers and fathers of civilizations they do not realize that Saudi Arabia is a Black country.
Ben Ammi's original Hebrew Israelite Nation agrees with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's historical contentions as they relate to the so-called Middle East and Africa. The Hebrews ask the question: The Middle East or Northeast Africa? Geographically, the "Middle East" makes absolutely no sense in our contemporary understanding of the region. It is a term that was imposed during the days of England's domination of world affairs, and which reflects their Euro-centric perspective. Voyages to that was/is known as the "Far East" (China, Japan, the Orient, etc.) required passing through the region; hence, they called it the "Middle East." Though the sun has long set on the British Empire, the deceptive term remains etched on the maps and minds of the world. Yet, it is simply impossible to depict Africa on a map without Israel and the surrounding land being squarely situated in the Northeastern Quadrant, hence our insistence upon Northeastern Africa. (Reference: Ben Ammi and Ahamadiel Ben-Yehuda; “A Viewer’s Guide to the African/Edenic Heritage Museum: Exploring the African Presences in the Promise Land”).
So, the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of Mystic Shrine are turning toward the Northeastern African continent for moral and spiritual guidance, but the Black man has been intellectually duped because of his ignorance of world history and thinks the Masonic traveling ritual is pointing to some mulatto imposter Arab of Mecca and Egypt and do not know it is talking about him the original man—God. You are that biblical stone written about in the book of 1 Peter 2: 6-9, which stated, “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, behold, I lay a Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth in him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious; but unto them which is disobedient, the stone which builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: where unto also they were appointed. But ye area chosen generation, a royal priesthood a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into this marvelous light.” (King James Version of the Holy Bible1 Peter 2: 6-9).
This is one of the world’s best kept Masonic secrets and no Masonic scholar has ever revealed this symbolic history relative to the African American experience and its correlation to Hiram Abiff. The black Masonic order does not have the knowledge or the courage to explore and be innovative as scholars who desire to make a contribution to Masonic scholarship and to the field of Speculative Masonic thought. They are steeped in mundane ritual work while others are giving them THE SIGNS, THE TOKENS, AND THE WORD and they still lack the ability to find the LOST WORD.

THE MASTER BUILDER
By Fahim A. Knight-El
Freemasonry as many may know, is a very vague and complex subject and this writer doesn't think you can exhaust the depth and/or magnitude of this topic in a 5000 word article or by writing a huge number of manuscripts; it is just to extensive of a subject for any one writer or body of researchers to claim absolute and complete definitiveness. It is much larger than the Masonic Scholars such as: Albert Pike, Jacob Boehme, Manly P. Hall, Albert Churchward, Albert G. Mackey, Edward Arthur Waite, Prince Hall, Francis Bacon, John Yarker, Joseph Walkes, JSM Ward, J.D. Buck, Robert MaCoy, George Oliver, W.L. Wilmshurst, John Robinson, Frantz Hartmann, James Morgan, Robert Taylor, Kersey Graves, Gerald Massey, Watten Scott, Alvin Boyd Khun, G.R.S Mead, Thomas Taylor, Spencer H. Lewis, H.P. Blavatsky, J. Van Rijckenbough, Edouard Schure, etc. The Speculative Science and social science of studying Freemasonry as a discipline is wide opened for various scientific, as well as creative interpretations and analysis based on the subject being rooted in symbolism, metaphors, allegory, similes, and expressed in parables, understood in the esoteric, viewed in the metaphysical and made intelligible by its sublime rituals. What then is Freemasonry? According to most of the Masonic authorities; defined, “Masonry as a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols” (Reference: Manly P. Hall; “Secret Teachings of All Ages”).
This writer was recently contacted via email by a gentleman named Wayne T. Muhammad, this writer is assuming that he was a Muslim (perhaps a follower of the Nation of Islam and Minister Louis Farrakhan), but he had a deep interest in an article that this writer had written titled, "Freemasonry (Moslem Sons) and Islam What Do They Share?" This author wrote the article approximately three years ago (2005), but he did not web publish the article until December 2007 and by far, it has been one of my most celebrated writings, which has received tremendous attention from scholars, Freemasons, Muslims, non-Muslims and just from ordinary people who may have interest in alternative historical views and/or enjoy New Age type subjects. (Reference: Fahim A. Knight-EL; "Freemasonry (Moslem Sons) and Islam What Do They Share?").
There is really no correct and/or incorrect way to explore and approach a Speculative Masonic topic; Speculative Masonry must-be clearly delineated from Operative Masonry—the former is best associated with Masonic intellectual ideas and philosophical interpretations (the Seven Liberal Arts—astronomy, music, geometry, arithmetic, logic, rhetoric and grammar) and the latter is best linked with Guild Workers seen through the lens of the five schools of architect—Doric, Ionic, Composite, Tuscan, Corinthian and the physical sciences of building. Thus, from this understanding and thought, this writer would first ask the readers to reason with me as I pursue some of the history of Hiram Abiff who was perhaps the greatest Grand Master of the Masonic theory and one of the essential and key foundation blocks upon which Freemasonry rest upon. (Reference: Henry Wilson Coil; “Coil’s Masonic Encyclopedia”).
The history and legend of Grand Master Hiram Abiff gives life and meaning to Freemasonry as a fraternity and as a philosophical school of thought. A. E. Waite, in his “New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry”, makes the following comment: "The legend of the Master-Builder is the great allegory of Masonry. It happens that his figurative story is grounded in the fact of a personality mentioned in Holy Scripture, but this historical background is of the accidents and not the essence; the significance is in the allegory and in any point of history which may lie behind it.” (Reference: A. E. Waite; “New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry’).
This writer had actually started writing this article perhaps over ten (10) years ago, which he had explained to Mr. Wayne Muhammad and after having numerous email communications with him, he sparked enough of my curiosity to revisited this subject and offer it as a finished scholarly product. Muhammad was actually doing some research of his own, but this writer never asked exactly what he was doing; this writer just offered him the assistance that he requested. However, looking metaphorically at the Masonic character Hiram Abiff from the standpoint of an allegorical legend; there is no doubt, that one could draw a direct and plausible parallel between the Hiram Abiff legend and the history of Africans (African American experience and their 450 year sojourn in America) that were brought from the continent of Africa as slaves to the Americas. (Reference: Alauddin Shabazz; “Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs”).
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad in a work edited by Nasir Makr Hakim titled, “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad” quoted Muhammad as stating, “The Masonic ritual of the death of Hiram, the Widow son, has no record in the great light of Masonry, the Bible. It is the symbolic reminder of the deviltry carried on by the devil in most recent history. This part of the Masonic ritual was added in 1725, along with the book of the Masonic Constitution prepared by the Rev. Jones Anderson. The proof of the absence of the story in their Bible as a true happening may be found in the Bible 1st Kings 7th chapter, 13th verse. You will see there that Hiram finished the work he was suppose to do for Solomon, yet according to the ritual of the third degree (death of Hiram) you will notice that Hiram was still putting work on the trestle board for the fellow craftsmen when he was attacked by the Ruffians: Jubelo, Jebula, Jubelum. These three are symbolized as ENGLAND, FRANCE and AMERICA”. (Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim; “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad”).
Muhammad continues, “The east gate is Africa, the west gate is the West Indies, and the north comer of the Temple is North America. The U.S.A., England, and France did enslave the Black man, but America is the one who killed him, by fixing him so he would not have any knowledge of himself, and then gave him the name Negro and buried him in the graveyard of the King James version of the Bible. The fact that he was hit in the head with a setting maul shows that in the head he died, so that he is mentally dead. Because of this fact, a name was made up for him from the Greek language to fit him (Necro) also spelled (Negro), this word means dead. However, the Germanic inflection in the mixed tongues, the "C," was pronounced as a "G," and Necro became Negra in the south and Negro in the north of the country”. (Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim; “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad”).
The Holy Qur’an in a chapter (Sura) titled, "AL NUR: The Light " gives these profound and beautiful words stated, “Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. A likeness of His light is a pillar on which is a lamp—the lamp is in a glass, the glass is as it were a brightly shinning star—lit from blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof gives light, though fire touch it not—light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He pleases. And Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Knower of all things.”(Reference: Muhammad Ali: Holy Qur’an translation Sura 24:35 subtitled, “Manifestation of Divine Light”)
This writer researched and found some very interesting words from a speech delivered by Minister Louis Farrakhan, leader of Nation of Islam back on October 30, 1983 at Morgan State University in Baltimore Maryland. This article will heavily reference and use citations from the teachings of the Nation of Islam's history, theology and worldview in order to present this subject on Hiram Abiff and its correlation to the black experience in America. The Nation of Islam is perhaps the only organization that has consistently taught on and drawn this parallel between Hiram Abiff and the so-called black man and black woman in America. The majority of the black Masonic Lodges in the United States are oblivious to this connection because even after many of them are raised in the Blue Lodge—they still lack the knowledge of self. (Reference: Malachi Z. York; “The Problem Book”).
Their counterpart the Caucasian Masonic brethren truly know and understand that this symbolic history has a much deeper meaning than the obvious and truly knows who Hiram Abiff represents in the scheme of history and it is this covert duality that this writer will partially be focusing on. There is always the question that is posed to the Masonic traveler: Which way are you are traveling? “The answer; is giving ordinarily from this perspective; “I am traveling from East to West in search of light (or more) light in Masonry.” It is from this premise that will set the basis of my thesis relative to the African American Masons, which the largest and majority belongs to the Prince Hall Masonic body known as Free and Accepted Masons (F&AM) (the most influential black Masonic Order in the United States), but there are others who are members of white Masonic lodges/orders known as Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF&AM). The East is the home of the Asiatic Black man (the original man) in which all knowledge and wisdom originated; therefore, when asked that question, which way are you are traveling; he should state, “I am already at home the East is where all the ancient wisdom originated and there is no need for me to travel from the East to the West in search of light.” (Reference: Joseph Walkes; “Black Square and Compass: 200 Years of Prince Hall Freemasonry”).
Minister Farrakhan stated: stated: “Dear beloved this is your time. You are more than what you think you are. So let me take the next few minutes to say these few words to you about you. You see you have thought all these years that you were nothing because you were Black, and you felt you were Black cause you were cursed. But you did not know that you are the original people of the Earth, and I will defy the scholars, the geneticists, the biologists, the historians, the anthropologists, to disprove that if the Black man were not here you have no source for your life. We are your fathers and your mothers and you have dishonored the very people that have produced you. No, no, it's not racism it's just fact. You know that their fathers taught you history, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, law, government, every discipline their fathers gave to your fathers when you were uncivilized in Europe on your all fours. It was a black man that brought you up out of that condition. This is the thanks we get. You have robbed your own people of correct knowledge that would have allowed young White students to have a genuine appreciation for Blacks. You would not teach your own the value of these Black people, though you go in secret in your Masonic lodges and in your shrines and you learn about us behind the closed doors. (Reference: Louis Farrakhan speeches edited by Joseph D. Eure and Richard Jerome; “Farrakhan, Back Where We Belong: Selected Speeches by Louis Farrakhan”).
Minister Farrakhan continues: You talk about you want integration, you want to integrate Morgan into the University of Maryland, but you will not integrate the Black Masons and Shriners into your white shrines and your White Masonry. You won't integrate that, and the mason you won't integrate that is because you know that the Black Masons have oleo and you have got butter. You know that in your lodge you are studying about Hiram, and they don't know that they are Hiram, the master architect that got hit in the head, carried away and buried in the North corner in a shallow grave where no light shines. But someone came to raise him up and didn't have the proper grip, it took a master grip to pull him up because he's a master and he needs a master to pull up a master. All of that is talking about you, the Prodigal Son, the lost sheep, the people of God, the people that the book says would be in bondage in a strange land for 400 years, but after that time God would come after you and raise you up and make a nation out of you, and make you leaders in the Earth. This is what they don't want you to know, that you are to supplant their rule because their time is up, their rule is wicked and unjust. The Bible says this is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our sight. Only God could take a foolish people and confound the wise. He would take a people that were no people at all and He would bring to naught the things which are by the things which have no existence. Here you are a people of no existence, a people that the world has brought to naught and here these sophisticated men of science who study how to psyche the mind and mess up the public and guide them like sheep, but their stuff don't work anymore on the foolish people. (Reference: Louis Farrakhan speeches edited by Joseph D. Eure and Richard Jerome; “Farrakhan, Back Where We Belong: Selected Speeches by Louis Farrakhan”).
The hidden truth behind the symbolic and mythological character of Hiram Abiff is, perhaps the foremost world's best kept secret. The Master Masons or third degree recite the history of Grand Master Hiram Abiff as the culmination of the Masonic lessons (there is really no degree higher than the Master Mason Degree). They say Hiram Abiff was/is the greatest Mason ever known, thus he was slain prior to completing the building of King Solomon's Temple. His death was premeditated by fifteen fellow crafts. They saw that the temple was about to be completed and wanted to obtain the secrets of a Master Mason. Knowing these secrets would allow them to travel in foreign countries and receive master's wages. So the fellow crafts conspired to extort the secrets from the Grand Master Hiram Abiff, or take his life. But reflecting with horror on the atrocity of the crime twelve of them recanted; the other three (Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum) persisted in their murderous designs. (Reference: JSM Ward; “Who is Hiram Abiff?”).
Hiram Abiff in truth represents the Black man in North America today. The European nations such as the United Kingdom, America, France, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Belgian, etc., historically these white world governments plotted against Africa and committed one of the greatest crimes ever recorded in the history of humanity—their vicious and inhumane roles in Chattel Slavery (1555-1865) and the Middle Passage, which led to the social, economic, and political demise of Africa and its people. But America, France, and England are the hidden under the Masonic symbolical names Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum, which was foretold by the prophets of old. It was Jewish conspirators who opposed Hiram Abiff and the construction plans of King Solomon's Temple. Elijah Muhammad stated, (Reference: Elijah Muhammad; “The Secret Teachings of Freemasonry”).
In 1555, when the slave ship named Jesus of Leubek voyaged out from the West coast of Africa, it represented demise in the history, culture and social life for the Grand Master Africans or Black man and woman of the world. The Asiatic Black man held the blue prints to human civilizations in their heads. The Grand Master Hiram Abiff according to the legend was slain at high twelve (or high noon); this is not just necessarily talking about the position of the physical Sun, although the Sun plays a huge part in where the Worshipful Master’s station is in the East, Senior Warden (West) and Junior Warden (South) all of these symbolic stations have a direct correlation to how the Sun Rise and Fall. But this allegory had a much more profound interpretation, as representing and an indication of a people that was at the pinnacle of civilization and became displaced. (Reference: John G. Jackson; “Man, God and Civilization”).
The entire system of Freemasonry is much older than the date of 1717, it can be traced back thousands years to African (black) people in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) perhaps the greatest civilization ever recorded in the history of humanity; had set-up the Egyptian Mystery Schools where neophytes were initiated in the high sciences of those who had constructed the great pyramids. Kemet (Egypt) fed Greece and Roman, the great Greek philosophers—Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Pythagoras, etc., sat either directly or indirectly at the foot of wise African Sages and from that knowledge of Kemet (Egypt) they enlightened all of Europe. (Reference: George G.M. James; “Stolen Legacy”).
The Kemitic (Egyptians) had mastered science, medicine, architect, art, philosophy chemistry, religion (spirituality), etc. The story of Hiram Abiff, the Widow’s Son was borrowed from the ancient story of Osiris (Asar), Isis (Aset), and Horus (Huru); (the Father, Son and Holy Ghost)—the birth, death, resurrection and ascension that we attribute to Hiram Abiff, it was actually predated by some thousands of years by the Osirian Myth, even before the advent of Isa bin Yusuf or Yeshua ben Yosef (better known in the West as Jesus Christ—the so-called Son of God). These legends are rooted in the Sun God and Solar God concepts. For example, right-minded historians and social scientists have traced these rituals and customs back to the worship of the Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice; in fact Kersey Graves in his monumental book titled, “The World Sixteen Crucified Saviors” he listed at least sixteen World Saviors that had the exact same identical advents attributed to their lives that we have associated with Yeshua ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph). (Reference John G. Jackson; “Introduction to African Civilization”).
These folklore and mythological stories are rooted in lessons of the immortality of the soul. This is no more evident than when a Master Mason is raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the square—90 degrees upright. Hiram Abiff—born, died, resurrected and ascended and the Masonic legend owes its origin to Kemet (Ancient Egypt) this is where the mythological teachings originated. This writer has an audio tape of Dr. Chancellor Williams author of the book “Destruction of Black Civilization” gave a talk titled, “Christianity Before Christ” (yes there was Christianity before Christ) and he too delved into the World Saviors that predated the birth of Christianity. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad asked perhaps the most essential question: Who is the original man? Answer: The Asiatic Black man the maker, the owner, the cream of the planet earth father of civilization, God of the Universe. (Reference: Naim Akbar; “Know Thy Self”).
It is taught in the Masonic ritual that Hiram Abiff’s usual practice at that hour, while the craft were from labor to refreshment, to enter into the unfinished 'Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies' of the Temple and there offer up his adoration to the Deity and draw his designs on the trestle board. The three fellow crafts who persisted in their murderous designs, knowing this to be his usual practice, placed themselves at the South, West, and east gates of the inner courts of the temple, and there awaited his (Hiram Abiff) return. The Grand Master, Hiram Abiff, having finished his usual exercises, attempted to retire by the South gate when he was accosted by Jubela, who thrice demanded of him the secrets of a master Mason, or the master's word, and on his being refused, gave him a blow the twenty-four inch gage across the throat. Allen Roberts states, "when a man's throat is silenced, it is difficult to carry on his activities efficiently. Too often the enemy will endeavor to destroy freedom of speech." (Reference: Allen E. Roberts; “The Craft and its Symbols: Opening the Door to Masonic Symbolism”) and Malcolm Duncan: “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry”).
Hiram Abiff fled and attempted to pass out at the West gate where he was accosted by Jubelo, who in like manner, demanded of him the secrets of a master Mason, or the master's word, and on his being refused, gave him a blow with the square across on his breast. Mr. Robert states, "others will try to maim a person with blows to the heart. The heart is not only a vital organ, but symbolically holds all that is good or divine in man." By dulling or killing this divine light, man becomes useless. Hiram Abiff after this blow across the chest he fled, and attempted to make his escape out at the east gate, where he was accosted by Jubelum, who, in like manner, thrice demanded the secrets of a master Mason, or the master's word. And his like refusal Jebelum dealt him a violent blow with the setting-maul on his forehead, which killed him dead on the spot. Mr. Roberts states, "a blow to the head, or brain, is the worst that man can suffer. It destroys freedom of thought. This creates ignorance. Where there is ignorance, there is despotism. A few control the many. These few use the majority as pawns in their quest for power and more power." (Reference: Allen E. Roberts; “The Craft and its Symbols: Opening the Door to Masonic Symbolism”) and Malcolm Duncan: “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry”).
The Ruffians buried the body in the rubbish of the temple until low twelve or twelve at night, when they met by agreement and carried it a Westerly course from the Temple to the brown of a hill West of Mount Moriah where they buried it in a grave dug due east and West, six feet perpendicular, at the head planted an acacia (evergreen plant), in order The body of our Grand Master was buried three times: first, in the rubbish of the Temple; secondly, on the brow of a hill West of Mount , Moriah; and thirdly and lastly, as near the "Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies," of King Solomon's Temple, as the Jewish law would permit; and Masonic tradition informs us that there was erected to his memory a Masonic monument, consisting of "a beautiful virgin, weeping over a broken column; before her was a book open; in her right hand a spring of acacia, in her left an urn; behind her stands Time, unfolding and counting the ringlets of her hair." The beautiful virgin weeping over the broken column denoted the unfinished state of the Temple, likewise the untimely death of our Grand Master, Hiram Abiff; the book open before her, that his virtues lay on perpetual record; the spring of acacia in her right hand, the divinity of the body; the urn in her left, that his ashes were therein safely deposited, under the "Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies," of King Solomon's Temple. (Reference: Allen E. Roberts; “The Craft and its Symbols: Opening the Door to Masonic Symbolism”) and Malcolm Duncan: “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry”).
The true Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews had its inception rooted in the history of King Solomon. Imam Mustafa El-Amin in his ground breaking research and whom I am so gratefully indebted to, authored perhaps two of the most definitive books titled, “Freemasonry: Ancient Egypt and the Islamic Destiny” and “Islam, Christianity and Freemasonry” as far as analyzing Freemasonry from a Muslim and Islamic perspective; he stands as a pioneer on the subject. EL-Amin characterized the three Conspirators as Jewish Ruffians—Jubela , Jubelo and Jubelum symbolize a gamut of allegorical ideas and cannot be limited to one definitive interpretation. The Biblical Jews historical opposed the ministry Yeshua Ben Josef (Jesus Christ) who was of African descent (a Nubian Hebrew Israelite); in like manner EL-Amin maintained they were the ones who conspired against mythological Hiram Abiff and more importantly opposed the prophet-hood of Solomon, who was sent by Allah. The Jewish Ruffians used the same tools i.e., 24-inch gauge, square, and setting ;maul, thus the same tools used in traveling the first three degrees--l) Entered Apprentice, 2 ) Fellow Craft, 3) Master Mason which were used on two levels i.e., physical construction and spiritual transformation. But the same tools became instruments of physical and spiritual destruction. It teaches us that there is some Ruffian behavior in all of us and oftentimes larceny just lies dormant. (Reference: Mustafa El-Amin; “Freemasonry: Ancient Egypt and the Islamic Destiny”).
The Hiram Abiff mythology is based on a murderous conspiracy, thievery, lies, extortion, and deception in which the Black man became the victim of these historical assaults and atrocities. The Europeans who came to Africa hit the black man (African) in the throat rendering them ineffective in communicating their language, history, culture, norms, folkways, mores, etc., robbed them of the knowledge of self and stripped them of their native tongue—language is the life blood to a people’s connection to a culture and a heritage. Moreover, there were no one present who could articulate the pain and suffering of the poor widow's sons and daughters. This is why history produced a Nat Turner, David Walker, Demark Vesey, Bishop McNeil Turner, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Wali Fard Muhammad, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Louis Farrakhan, etc., these uncompromising leaders reached down in our oppression with the Master Grip and Lion Paw and sought to raised the black man from his social predicament. They were ordained by God to seek freedom, justice and equality for the Asiatic Black man. The European Slave Makers systematically divided the Africans on the slave ships, as well as on the slave plantations whom he recognized were of the same ethnic family. He did not want all Wolof, Ashanti, Mandinkas, Hausas, Fulani, lbo, Ewe etc., communicating amongst each other—with the same tongue (language has the potential to unify people) because of the danger it posed for the conspirators. They strategically cut off our language power. And now the Black man throughout the Diaspora only speaks his colonizers language. Thus this is the first blow that symbolical Hiram suffered; is there no help for the poor widow's son? (Reference:
Mustafa El-Amin; “Islam, Christianity and Freemasonry”).
The square across the chest of Hiram Abiff symbolizes that the Black man and woman was struck by the Slave Makers who desired to make us like themselves—heartless and without love for self and humanity (from my study, a Mason is first made a Mason in their Heart). The Slave masters history is written in blood (kidnap, rape, and murder). They removed the good spirits and souls of the Black man and replaced them with false spiritual inclinations, self hatred, self-denial, dependency and more devastating gave us a White Jesus (God) to place next to our wanting hearts. We must work to recapture the humanity and self-dignity bestowed on us by the Supreme Being. Some of our behavior today is a direct result of what took place yesterday, but psychological repression perhaps dictates some of our present day behavior as a nation—black and white. (Reference: Zachery P. Gremillion: “African Origin of Freemasonry”).
Muhammad stated, “90% of the ministers of the Protestant world are members of the Masonic order, and is something to be appalled at when you know what is going on in the Masonic Lodge, especially when we see that he is a Mason, and is a follower of the devil in their rituals. 1 am speaking of the devils, the Black preachers, the Catholic Church, the so-called holy and otherwise, have their own form of worship of Allah (the Blackman) in such orders as the Knights of Columbus, and the order of Alhambra. Let us consider the Protestant minister who darns the drawer and cable tow and hoodwink of the Masonic brotherhood. Here we see a man who teaches the people of his audience the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ, and that the people must be baptized in the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost (whatever that is). They must believe that Jesus died for their sins. Yet, he goes to the Masonic lodge and declares himself to be a poor blind traveler searching for the light with a rope around his neck in bondage. Within the lodge he takes part in rituals that purposely exclude the name of Jesus, and his title "Son of God" and secretly darn the Fez worn by those who believe that only (Allah) is to be worshipped. The very next Sunday, there he is back in church telling the ignorant people about how Jesus died for their sins. What kind of crazy hypocrisy is this? He teaches about that loving God who gave His son to die for the people and at the same time the minister wears the ring of a traveling man.” (Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim; “The True History of Master Fard Muhammad”).
Their social scientist can give explanations about every pathological aspect of human behavior, but refuses to acknowledge that slavery was a criminal act and it is this denial that will continue to create racial and social tension, in particular in the United States of America. The United States after 400 years of oppression, racism and human injustice has never even had a serious national discussion relative to race. This writer believes that African people today suffers from Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome. Those nations that participated in this crime are guilty as charged, but none of their commercial shrinks with their psychological analysis and empirical research data models, have ever spoken about the effect that 310 years of slavery had on the psychological and social development of Black people. Our hearts were sacred until these wicked conspirators brought their foreign and alien culture to the purest people to have ever walked upon the face of the earth and took them as captives. (Reference: Asa G. Hilliard, III; “The Reawaking of the African Mind”).
The final blow to Hiram Abiff was that he was hit in the head with a setting maul in which killed the Master Builder. The Slave Makers stripped the Asiatic Black man of the knowledge of self and literally stole the minds of our African ancestors. This perhaps was the most devastating blow, not only to Hiram Abiff, it was this blow to the head that rendered the Grand Master dead and when you kill a peoples mind (mind is god) and rob them of their humanity—there is nothing more crippling. The Asiatic Black man even in 2008 has yet too psychologically, socially, politically, and economically recuperate from the long term affect of the blow 450 years ago. This blow left African people with historical amnesia (many of them forgot from whence they came). This is why we unconditionally accepted an imposter White Jesus as being God and is drunk off European Christianity because we are out of our minds; we must work to recapture the African mind. Yes, this writer is sorry to inform you that Christianity is the slave master’s religion. (Reference: Naim Akbar; “Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery”).
The African mind is the one that built the pyramids, who also advanced the ideas in mathematics, medicine, astronomy, architecture, agriculture, religion, spirituality, etc. That blow to Hiram's (Black man and woman) head is what made us Negroes or 'the walking dead.' The black Masonic scholars lack the knowledge of self and they are constantly looking to be led by white Masonic Scholars which to write the philosophy and history of Speculative Freemasonry for them. Elijah Muhammad said of all the knowledge that one can acquire; there is none more valuable than acquiring the knowledge of self. He also, said my teachings can be summed up in six words “accept your own and be yourself.” Historians and anthropologist have stated that inscribed and in written in the language of Metu Neter (Hieroglyphics) on all the walls of the pyramids stated, “MAN KNOW THY SELF”. (Reference: Elijah Muhammad; “The Message to the Blackman in America”).
The tribe of Judah must roar once again. Mr. Roberts stated: "It is claimed that Solomon was once symbolic of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. An emulation of his merits, philosophy, love of God, and wisdom will assure his followers of an exemplary life in this world. While living as Solomon did, any man will be able to the grim tyrant of death, and receive him as a kind messenger sent from our Supreme Grand Master, to translate us from this imperfect, to that all perfect, glorious, and celestial lodges above
In all of the Masonic and Shriners travels, they are never going to expose us to true interpretations of what the symbolism really means. Many of the 32nd and 33rd Degree Masons that are Shriners, in particular the Black ones, do not even know where Egypt and Saudi Arabia are on the world map. They are strictly caught up in lodge ritualism and perhaps think that the geographical place in which the Order speaks of does not exist in present day terms. I am not foolish to think and believe that the people who are occupying Egypt and Arabia today are the original people who built world civilization (they are not the original inhabitants of those lands). The Arabs and the Jews are imposters—supplants who have stolen our original birthrights for their own. Dr. Chancellor Williams eloquently writes about this in his book, Destruction of Black Civilization, "these imposters pushed the dark skinned Kimites into Southern Egypt, as well as into Sudan and back down to Ethiopia." (Reference: Chancellor Williams; “Destruction of Black Civilization”).
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us: "Why isn't the devil settled on the best part of the planet Earth? Answer, because the earth belongs to the original Black man and knowing that the devil was wicked and there would not be any peace among them. He put him out in the worst part of the earth and kept) the best preserved for himself ever since he made it. The best part is in Arabia at the holy City Mecca. The colored man or Caucasian is the devil. Arabia is in the far east and is boarded by the Indian Ocean on the South.”. (Elijah Muhammad: “The Student Enrollment lessons”).
The best part of the earth, teaches the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, is Mecca (which is North East Africa) and the Muslim Sons (Shriners) and the Muslim followers of Islam are taught to turn to the East for enlightenment and spiritual guidance. But even as they turn symbolically to the mothers and fathers of civilizations they do not realize that Saudi Arabia is a Black country.
Ben Ammi's original Hebrew Israelite Nation agrees with the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's historical contentions as they relate to the so-called Middle East and Africa. The Hebrews ask the question: The Middle East or Northeast Africa? Geographically, the "Middle East" makes absolutely no sense in our contemporary understanding of the region. It is a term that was imposed during the days of England's domination of world affairs, and which reflects their Euro-centric perspective. Voyages to that was/is known as the "Far East" (China, Japan, the Orient, etc.) required passing through the region; hence, they called it the "Middle East." Though the sun has long set on the British Empire, the deceptive term remains etched on the maps and minds of the world. Yet, it is simply impossible to depict Africa on a map without Israel and the surrounding land being squarely situated in the Northeastern Quadrant, hence our insistence upon Northeastern Africa. (Reference: Ben Ammi and Ahamadiel Ben-Yehuda; “A Viewer’s Guide to the African/Edenic Heritage Museum: Exploring the African Presences in the Promise Land”).
So, the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of Mystic Shrine are turning toward the Northeastern African continent for moral and spiritual guidance, but the Black man has been intellectually duped because of his ignorance of world history and thinks the Masonic traveling ritual is pointing to some mulatto imposter Arab of Mecca and Egypt and do not know it is talking about him the original man—God. You are that biblical stone written about in the book of 1 Peter 2: 6-9, which stated, “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, behold, I lay a Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth in him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious; but unto them which is disobedient, the stone which builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: where unto also they were appointed. But ye area chosen generation, a royal priesthood a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into this marvelous light.” (King James Version of the Holy Bible1 Peter 2: 6-9).
This is one of the world’s best kept Masonic secrets and no Masonic scholar has ever revealed this symbolic history relative to the African American experience and its correlation to Hiram Abiff. The black Masonic order does not have the knowledge or the courage to explore and be innovative as scholars who desire to make a contribution to Masonic scholarship and to the field of Speculative Masonic thought. They are steeped in mundane ritual work while others are giving them THE SIGNS, THE TOKENS, AND THE WORD and they still lack the ability to find the LOST WORD.

AMERICA'S EDUCATION IS DEAD AND OBSOLETE: IT IS, WHAT IT IS
AMERICA'S EDUCATION IS DEAD AND OBSOLETE: IT IS, WHAT IT IS
By Fahim A. Knight-EL
American education has become obsolete and outdated and is failing not only the American students, but it is a direct compromise of America's future. If America is depended upon this next generation to be the leaders of tomorrow and to ensure that our nation continues to have a prosperous future and remain somewhat competitive in this new global society; there is going have to be a need for a drastic overhaul of the present educational system in order for it to survive deep into the 21st Century. (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; “Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave”).
The inner cities schools infrastructures are depilated and decaying—encompassing poor facilities and are plagued by a gamut of social issues ranging from ill equipped teachers, teenage pregnancy, gangs, truancy, disproportional high dropout rates, drugs and alcohol issues; the suburban schools aren’t much better and a sense of disillusionment serves as the order of the day. (Reference: Greg Mathis; “Inner City Miracle”).
Teachers and students are more concerned about their safety and security, which in most cases education and learning have taken a back seat to safety. This writer can remember that Newark, New Jersey public schools approximately eight years ago had deteriorated under long term Mayor Sharpe James (he was recently convicted on Federal charges of abuse of governmental powers) had become so ineffective in providing a quality education for its citizens that the Federal Government was about to step-in and manage and operate Newark's Public Schools under a Federal Mandate; this would have been unprecedented. However, this is not only germane to Newark but almost in every urban city in America it is the same trend; you could find these same problems in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Atlanta, New York, Los Angles, Chicago, Detroit, Gary, East Saint Louis, Memphis, Miami, Boston, etc. No one really wants to assume responsibility of working to resolving America's educational crisis. (Reference: Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, & Rameck Hunt; “The Bond”).
So failure is inevitable and America will create a permanent underclass that will be the feeding grounds for the thriving Prison Industrial Complex and may be this is all part of the conspiracy. This writer knows that Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain have no solutions to rescuing American education, but they both signed on to give some of the wealthiest banking and financial investment firms in the world $850 billion dollars of the taxpayers money and America's education is in shambles and is in dire need of being rescued by a government bailout. This writer would like to have seen this money go toward enhancing American education as opposed to those den of thieves.
Former Presidential Candidate Ross Perot said in 1990 stated, "I believe the education crisis ranks right at the top. I would put second only to our economic problems here in this country. You're at the bottom of the industrialized world in terms of academic achievement. We have the largest number of functional illiterates in the industrialized world. I would give it a much, much, much higher priority than the problems that take all our time in the Middle East. If we the same level on education that we have on the oil problem in the Middle East, we'd have the finest schools in the world" (Reference: James W. Robinson; "Ross Perot Speaks Out: Issue by Issue, What He Says About Our Nation--Its Problems and Its Promise" pg 75).
Right at this moment it looks very bleak and unpromising that our educational institutions are creating a product that has not met the academic training and intellectual preparation or prerequisites that is needed to exceed and succeed within the global market. There is perhaps a gamut of causes and problems that we can pinpoint to; that have contributed to the decline of America's education, which all of them may possess a sense of legitimate credibility and plausibility. This article will not necessary focus in on that area but will cite some as part of our discussion, which to validate our thesis. Where did we go wrong?
Our society based on our world leadership ranking—which stemmed from our privilege position and the sense of entitlement that went along with being Americans—what president Nixon called a “One World Superpower” has placed us on a dangerous course; in particular as we transitioned from various historical time periods such as Feudalism, Pre-Industrialism, Industrialism and now into this present of being part of the technological age of information—each of these economic eras would impact our worldview. America's political, economic, social, military, etc., success created a false sense of national and international American-Centric culture that covertly perceived the world as evolving around the American culture and our so-called world dominance definitely created intellectual, social and economic arrogance with inside and the outside of our nation on all levels. (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; “War and Anti-War; Survival at the Dawn of the 21ST Century”).
The past creative ingenuity which was eventually replaced with apathy and a high level of complacency and by time the Cold War had come to a end in 1989 the educational achievement gap between nations of Western Europe and the United States was evident by how Western European schools and students at that time were ranking considerably much higher than their United States counterpart. Thus, over the last twenty years we have produced a generation of low academic achievers and the scary thing about this phenomenon, is that it continues to gain negative momentum as America's education continues to deteriorate.
This writer is very much concerned about these implications because he has a ten (10) year old daughter who is a fifth grader on the elementary school level and if the U.S. educational system is failing, we have to ask ourselves, how does that factor into the future of my daughter and our ability to provide her with a quality education that will give her and millions more children like her, in this country the necessary tools to compete against a formidable and prepared students coming out of the Far East?
We learned the basic rudiments of education and for our generation there was nothing more vital than having to master the 3 Rs—Reading, Writing and Arithmetic and I can remember my mother drilling me with the 3 Rs; she thought it was important and imperative to my educational success. The concept of literacy when it came to computing, reading and writing was non-negotiable in our home and in the school setting; today on the average American children perform below grade average in these three most vital educational areas and although our society have made a transition, this writer is of the belief that these three subjects and/or disciplines are still the foundation to function in the arena of ideas. They were of extremely valuable and of importance yesterday and perhaps are even more valuable today in our children's educational pursuits. (Reference: Calvin Mackie; “A View From the Roof—Lessons For Life & Business).
Minister Louis Farrakhan in his most enlightened book titled, "A Torchlight for America" stated, "By all measures-literacy, the dropout rate, test scores, plans to attend college and the cultivation of truth and principles among today's youth--the school system has failed. It's hard to understand how my generation, born in the thirties and forties, was least able to read and write, yet America has made so many advances in the society since then, but today's generation is less able to read and write than mine. As mentioned earlier, it is estimated that from 10% to 20% of Americans are functionally illiterate. The high school dropout rate has reached 30%, and of those who return, only 80% of 19 to 20 year-olds gain their high school diploma. Today's students can not point out, on a map, the countries that are in the news shaping the course of world affairs . . . Education is vital to each individual's life chances and the quality of the society as a whole. . .If America does not wake up and recognize the consequences of perpetuating the current system of education, then the country's fate is sealed. If America is unwilling to destroy the old system of education in order to create a new system of education, then America's status as a world power will quickly fade away in a generation or so." (Reference: Louis Farrakhan: "A Torchlight for America' pg 45-46).
Imagine those children who live in developing nations under adverse political, economic, and social conditions, but are academically out performing American students in spite of their environment and condition; not to mention students from Japan and China who stands head and shoulders above American students when it comes to academic achievement. American society on a whole has become spoiled and lazy and we have lost our competitive drive to move beyond mediocrity and once again demonstrate our ability to be world leaders in all endeavors. Who would have thought that the United States would be borrowing money from China and we now owe Chinese $500 billion dollars in loans and counting? These people are not complacent, they are highly motivated to achieve within this global economy. (Reference: Joel Kotkin;
“Tribes”).
This writer can remember just twenty-five ago—America, our nation was in the top five percentile in international education ratings and this writer witness our nation slip to number twenty-five (meaning there were 24 nations ahead of the most technological and developed nation in the history of humanity—America) and at the same time America slipped from being the number one creditor nation in the world to becoming one of the largest debtor nations in the world. But here is the contradiction, our public policy which is carried out in our foreign policy favors spending trillions of dollars in two unjust wars being fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. The hypocritical United States Congress, both Democrat and Republicans continues to vote to give this damnable administration more money to wage these imperialistic wars while America's poor and oppressed continues to be scapegoat for wrecking the United States economy and simultaneously American education is dying a slow death. (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; “Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave”).
How about this one, we can pay and athlete thirty (30) million dollars a year to entertain us? Yet, American teachers on the average are paid a measly forty-seven thousand dollars annually and is responsible for intellectually developing our most vital national resource—the responsibility of educating our children. Why has American education been such a low priority and so negated by the most prominent nation on the planet? There is no wonder America’s students are lagging; I do not blame the students for their failures, but our public policy has rendered its own American education as obsolete and in effective. (Reference: Claud Anderson; “Black Labor, White Wealth).
They have deemed stockpiling military armament and reckoned war as being more profitable and beneficial to the stability of America’s immediate reality, than investing in its own long term future. David Halberstam in his book titled, "The Next Century" stated, "I said that most of the people talking about national security in this country were ill equipped to do so because they lost touch with country, that national security was no longer an index of weaponry (essentially a missile and tank count), if it ever really was, but a broad array of factors reflecting the general state of national well-being. It included the ability of a country to house its people, to feed them, to educate them, provide them with opportunities in keeping with their desires in education, and to instill in them trust and optimism that their lives were going to be valued and fruitful. Those in Washington were so fascinated with realpolitik and weaponry that they tended to forget that the just and harmonious society was, in the long run, also the strong society." (Reference: David Halberstam; "The Next Century" pg. 14).
East Asians—China, Japan and India have proving to be much stronger in mathematics and science, as well as in technological fields than America, In particular and Western Europe in general. My wife and I are very much involved in my daughter's education and consider ourselves as active parents. However, it is difficult for us to remain optimistic about American education; the first thing this writer noticed over the last six years of being engaged was that the curriculum was outdated, which speaks to the heart of America's failure to incorporate those practical and neo-theories and by not doing this, it was perhaps only showing forth evidence that they were unaware of the global societal transition that had taken place.
This writer himself had studied Jean Piaget, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Lev Vygotsky, Maria Montessori, John Locke, Abraham Maslow, Spencer, etc., and valued these educational philosophers for their intellectual contributions. But society has made a paradigm shift and old methodologies may have to be tweak and in some case outright abandoned, as being antiquated and is no longer relevant and applicable to where we are right now. .
This writer also immediately notice that the concept of discipline and a respect for authority were non existent—America’s legal and jurisprudence system had crippled the teachers and administrators ability to enforce rules and discipline without fear of being smacked with a law suit (criminal and civil) this alone has negated the power dynamic and has giving adolescence and teenagers more rights to perpetuate ignorance and go unmitigated; more so than the teachers having the right to demand a little more from their students than mediocrity. This unwritten dynamic becomes a power play in the overall scheme to teach and no doubt this variable is compromising learning.
(Reference: Glenda Hatchett; “Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say”).
This writer grew up in an era where teachers had the right and authority to enforce rules, in which corporal punishment was not shun upon or frowned upon and although it is unacceptable in most school Districts throughout America today, it got our undivided attention yesterday; in fact the teacher was the "badest" Sheriff in town and he/she carried a big stick and they meant business. Say what you may, they got results from these measures and years later many of us learned to appreciate the overall love and concern that these strict disciplinarians imposed. Lessons first bullshit second.
America education has falsely empowered children by giving them too many damn rights to the detriment of them being educated. They even have a right not learn and in some states at sixteen years of age they can legally dropout of school and eventually become a statistic. This writer was explaining to his daughter that he actually received spankings in school for unruly behavior and my daughter could not imagine or believe this was true. It is very difficult for teachers to teach in an environment where there is no discipline being exercised and teachers lack the overall authority over the students and institution. We in United States consistently read about teachers, schools and school districts being sued by American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for violating students civil rights while American education continues a downward spiral to a level decadence.
President George Bush initiated the No Child Left Behind policy; it only served as a good slogan and a catchy theme, but lacked tangible substance to close the American educational gap, between blacks and whites—poor and rich and have not come near closing the international educational gap that exist between America, Western Europe and Asian nations. Poor and oppressed children were left even further behind under President Bush’s No Child Left Behind policy.
American education is much worst since President Bush took office in 2000 he never viewed education as a priority. He lured people to sleep especially Christian Evangelicals with his Faith Base Initiatives— so-called bridging church and state (treading the United States Constitution which clearly separates church and state). These Christians heard Money and God in that exact order, which was suppose to be earmark to parochial church based program—this was a big plank for the Bush administration that never happened on the scale that everyone anticipated.
There was nothing more evident than in 2005 Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst natural disasters in American history which ravaged New Orleans, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. This disaster exemplified and exposed many social and economic contradictions that were nicely hidden in America and Katrina led to the highlighting of the disparities that existed within one of most advanced and technological societies in the world. Some of the images that were televised around the world on CNN and other news outlet gave a glimpse to the international community of social and economic divide that still exist in America even in 2008. The world got a firsthand look at mostly African Americans that were devastated by this natural disaster. The visual scenes of blacks, as far as the images that were broadcasted were equivalent to someone viewing this situation and would have probably automatically assumed these were images from Africa or some other developing nation like Port-au- Prince, Haiti perhaps the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. (Reference: Andrew Hacker; “Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal”).
No, this was America and this writer cited this as an example, of the social and economic divide that exist—which as a microcosm that speaks volumes relative to America's educational woes that has reached pandemic proportions. The problem with America's education is that our government has truly neglected to address issues of poverty and social disparity which has led to the failures of its urban schools. The status-quo doesn't want look at it from that perspective because it will require the redistribution of wealth and resources as the only real solution of going to the root cause. The poor and oppressed have been condemned to a life of misery and this position reverberates to explaining partially why there is not a sense of urgency to invest and rescue American education from the abyss. (Reference: Claud Anderson; “PowerNomics”).
Tavis Smiley of National Public Radio spearheaded and edited a valuable publication in 2006 titled, “Covenant with Black America” stated, “If the effectiveness of education rests on such resources and they are unequally distributed, it is reasonable to anticipate that the effects of education will be unequal. The achievement distribution data highly with data on access to these forms of capital. Our notion of affirmative development is grounded in possible approaches to offsetting the negative effects of the mal-distribution of access to these forms of education-related capital. While the most direct approach to the solution of mal-distribution would involve the redistribution of income, wealth, and related resources, it is not reasonable to expect that such a radical solution will resonate with 21ST Century America. It is possible, however, that even a compassionate conservative society will se it to be in the best interest of the nation to organize its social institutions and its services so as to remove the negative affects such mal-distribution on the academic and personal development of its people.” (Reference: Tavis Smiley; editor “Covenant with Black America”—piece authored by Edmund W. Gordon; pg. 30).
This writer was engaged in an intellectual discussion with the former Superintendent of Milwaukee Public Schools system Dr. Howard Fuller and is presently on the faculty of Marquette University. This writer has tremendous respect for Dr. Fuller who did yeoman's work in the Civil Rights Movement in Durham, North Carolina under poverty program and Operation Break Through. He fought the racist North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms relative to public policy and the injustice of Jim Crow laws that were pervasive in the south. Dr. Fuller is one of the faces behind promoting educational vouchers; he believes this will allow a balance and a level educational playing field by allowing parents to use public tax based funding to shop around and pick the best educational arrangement for their child be public and/or private.
However, Dr. Fuller's solution does not go the root of America's educational dilemma as a whole; the power to change schools subtly implies that this is the ultimate solution to our collective children acquiring a wholesome education. No, the problem is a lot more complex and pervasive when it comes to public education.
Former President Bill Clinton stated in his book titled, " Between Hope and History: Meeting America's Challenges for the 21st Century" stated, "I Signed the Goals 2000: Educate America Act to help empower teachers, principles, and parents to change the way schools work--with cutting-edge technology, fewer federal rules, challenging academic standards, and increased parental involvement not just in schools but in their child's daily learning. Now we must do more to make sure education meets the needs of our children and the demands of the future. First and foremost, we must continue to hold students, teachers, schools to the highest standards. We must ensure students can demonstrate competence to be promoted and to graduate. Teachers must also demonstrate competence, and we should be prepared to reward the best ones and remove those who don't measure up fairly and expeditiously. In the same way we should reward the best schools and shut down or redesign those that fail, and especially those that are unsafe." (Reference: Bill Clinton; "Between Hope and History: Meeting America's Challenges for the 21st Century" pg. 43-44).
Our educational problems and predicament should render this as a matter of national security and it should be receiving the same attention that the Middle East and oil is getting. Our future will be doomed if we allow illiteracy and low academic achievements to go unmet and unchallenged and our failure to act compromises our nation’s future ability to continue compete on the same level. America gave their children too much and did not require anything to showing themselves approved. Education is the life blood of any civilization and the ability to sustain itself will depend on how education is utilized to create and/or advance upon pursuing beneficial political, economic and social institutions that will set new nation standards and rekindle a competitive spirit which to engage in the global market arena. (Reference: Noam Chomsky; “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest For Global Dominance).
We perhaps live in the most illuminating time in the history of humanity; thus, having more access and availability to information unlike any other time in human development. The Internet has served as a powerful tool by breaking down informational barriers and is allowed to function without boarders giving people readily access to information. It has allowed humanity to engage in un-sanitized and unfiltered intellectual acquisition of knowledge, which is not controlled by corporate sponsor mediums—no doubt a good thing. Yet, American students are still missing the mark and failing the grade in spite of the powerful Internet and have become the perfect candidates and the poster the children for “dumbing down” America. They are scoring even lower on standardized testing and have a poor foundation in the 3 Rs—reading, writing and Arithmetic. Many American students can not count, write and read and are highly ignorant when it comes to world geography; has anyone told them they must think global.

American education has become obsolete and outdated and is failing not only the American students, but it is a direct compromise of America's future. If America is depended upon this next generation to be the leaders of tomorrow and to ensure that our nation continues to have a prosperous future and remain somewhat competitive in this new global society; there is going have to be a need for a drastic overhaul of the present educational system in order for it to survive deep into the 21st Century. (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; “Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave”).
The inner cities schools infrastructures are depilated and decaying—encompassing poor facilities and are plagued by a gamut of social issues ranging from ill equipped teachers, teenage pregnancy, gangs, truancy, disproportional high dropout rates, drugs and alcohol issues; the suburban schools aren’t much better and a sense of disillusionment serves as the order of the day. (Reference: Greg Mathis; “Inner City Miracle”).
Teachers and students are more concerned about their safety and security, which in most cases education and learning have taken a back seat to safety. This writer can remember that Newark, New Jersey public schools approximately eight years ago had deteriorated under long term Mayor Sharpe James (he was recently convicted on Federal charges of abuse of governmental powers) had become so ineffective in providing a quality education for its citizens that the Federal Government was about to step-in and manage and operate Newark's Public Schools under a Federal Mandate; this would have been unprecedented. However, this is not only germane to Newark but almost in every urban city in America it is the same trend; you could find these same problems in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Atlanta, New York, Los Angles, Chicago, Detroit, Gary, East Saint Louis, Memphis, Miami, Boston, etc. No one really wants to assume responsibility of working to resolving America's educational crisis. (Reference: Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, & Rameck Hunt; “The Bond”).
So failure is inevitable and America will create a permanent underclass that will be the feeding grounds for the thriving Prison Industrial Complex and may be this is all part of the conspiracy. This writer knows that Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain have no solutions to rescuing American education, but they both signed on to give some of the wealthiest banking and financial investment firms in the world $850 billion dollars of the taxpayers money and America's education is in shambles and is in dire need of being rescued by a government bailout. This writer would like to have seen this money go toward enhancing American education as opposed to those den of thieves.
Former Presidential Candidate Ross Perot said in 1990 stated, "I believe the education crisis ranks right at the top. I would put second only to our economic problems here in this country. You're at the bottom of the industrialized world in terms of academic achievement. We have the largest number of functional illiterates in the industrialized world. I would give it a much, much, much higher priority than the problems that take all our time in the Middle East. If we the same level on education that we have on the oil problem in the Middle East, we'd have the finest schools in the world" (Reference: James W. Robinson; "Ross Perot Speaks Out: Issue by Issue, What He Says About Our Nation--Its Problems and Its Promise" pg 75).
Right at this moment it looks very bleak and unpromising that our educational institutions are creating a product that has not met the academic training and intellectual preparation or prerequisites that is needed to exceed and succeed within the global market. There is perhaps a gamut of causes and problems that we can pinpoint to; that have contributed to the decline of America's education, which all of them may possess a sense of legitimate credibility and plausibility. This article will not necessary focus in on that area but will cite some as part of our discussion, which to validate our thesis. Where did we go wrong?
Our society based on our world leadership ranking—which stemmed from our privilege position and the sense of entitlement that went along with being Americans—what president Nixon called a “One World Superpower” has placed us on a dangerous course; in particular as we transitioned from various historical time periods such as Feudalism, Pre-Industrialism, Industrialism and now into this present of being part of the technological age of information—each of these economic eras would impact our worldview. America's political, economic, social, military, etc., success created a false sense of national and international American-Centric culture that covertly perceived the world as evolving around the American culture and our so-called world dominance definitely created intellectual, social and economic arrogance with inside and the outside of our nation on all levels. (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; “War and Anti-War; Survival at the Dawn of the 21ST Century”).
The past creative ingenuity which was eventually replaced with apathy and a high level of complacency and by time the Cold War had come to a end in 1989 the educational achievement gap between nations of Western Europe and the United States was evident by how Western European schools and students at that time were ranking considerably much higher than their United States counterpart. Thus, over the last twenty years we have produced a generation of low academic achievers and the scary thing about this phenomenon, is that it continues to gain negative momentum as America's education continues to deteriorate.

However, Dr. Fuller's solution does not go the root of America's educational dilemma as a whole; the power to change schools subtly implies that this is the ultimate solution to our collective children acquiring a wholesome education. No, the problem is a lot more complex and pervasive when it comes to public education.
Former President Bill Clinton stated in his book titled, " Between Hope and History: Meeting America's Challenges for the 21st Century" stated, "I Signed the Goals 2000: Educate America Act to help empower teachers, principles, and parents to change the way schools work--with cutting-edge technology, fewer federal rules, challenging academic standards, and increased parental involvement not just in schools but in their child's daily learning. Now we must do more to make sure education meets the needs of our children and the demands of the future. First and foremost, we must continue to hold students, teachers, schools to the highest standards. We must ensure students can demonstrate competence to be promoted and to graduate. Teachers must also demonstrate competence, and we should be prepared to reward the best ones and remove those who don't measure up fairly and expeditiously. In the same way we should reward the best schools and shut down or redesign those that fail, and especially those that are unsafe." (Reference: Bill Clinton; "Between Hope and History: Meeting America's Challenges for the 21st Century" pg. 43-44).
Our educational problems and predicament should render this as a matter of national security and it should be receiving the same attention that the Middle East and oil is getting. Our future will be doomed if we allow illiteracy and low academic achievements to go unmet and unchallenged and our failure to act compromises our nation’s future ability to continue compete on the same level. America gave their children too much and did not require anything to showing themselves approved. Education is the life blood of any civilization and the ability to sustain itself will depend on how education is utilized to create and/or advance upon pursuing beneficial political, economic and social institutions that will set new nation standards and rekindle a competitive spirit which to engage in the global market arena. (Reference: Noam Chomsky; “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest For Global Dominance).
We perhaps live in the most illuminating time in the history of humanity; thus, having more access and availability to information unlike any other time in human development. The Internet has served as a powerful tool by breaking down informational barriers and is allowed to function without boarders giving people readily access to information. It has allowed humanity to engage in un-sanitized and unfiltered intellectual acquisition of knowledge, which is not controlled by corporate sponsor mediums—no doubt a good thing. Yet, American students are still missing the mark and failing the grade in spite of the powerful Internet and have become the perfect candidates and the poster the children for “dumbing down” America. They are scoring even lower on standardized testing and have a poor foundation in the 3 Rs—reading, writing and Arithmetic. Many American students can not count, write and read and are highly ignorant when it comes to world geography; has anyone told them they must think global.

MONEY HAS NO VALUE, PEOPLE DO: THE BAILOUT; THE ROTHSCHILDS SAID GIVE IT UP
"Money Has No Value, People Do: The Bailout; the Rothschilds Said Give it Up"
By Fahim A. Knight
This writer has done a number of similar articles pertaining to the Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Club of Rome, the House of Rothschild, the Federal Reserve System, etc, and how these entitles secretly rule over humanity and is covertly involved in shaping the political, economic and social dynamics of all past and present societies.
This writer had an eighth grade middle school teacher at Hudson Street School in Newark, New Jersey named Ms. Kornegay and part of her teaching method was redounded teaching. It appears she was teaching the same lesson plan over and over again. So one day, I mustered up enough nerve to question my teacher about this and she simply stated repetitive instruction is one of the best methods for students to retain and learn. This writer has been using this technique ever since.
This article was written as an analysis and evaluation of the recent corporate bailout, but all knowledge is relative and interrelated and there will be some similarities to a few recent articles that this writer has recently written such as "The Pawns in the Game" and "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" and of course, all this ties into the so-called bailout. Just remember what my middle school teacher said.
There is an Internet blogger who has a very interesting close out theme of how she ends all her blog post. She states, "Money Has No Value, People Do," In truth, this is a very powerful axiom and dictum, which is full of wisdom and embodied in the essence of the very soul of humanity and the quintessence of human beings are rooted into something that exceeds all the gold (or any of form of materialism) on the earth (this is of course, my interpretation and not hers). But this writer believes her intent, is to bring humanity to an understanding that money is an established medium of exchange (which in reality, has no tangible value other than what the Power Brokers have given it).
Thus, this is a worthless piece of paper which has been deemed to have more value than all of humanity. This writer can not imagine telling the Rothschilds that money has no value—and in its truest sense it doesn't, the assigned value and/or there lack of, has presently driven the United States economy and for that matter the entire world economy to its knees and almost to the brink of economic destruction—effecting all the world's markets and the flow of money.
President George Bush nor the United States Congress have the power or authority to redirect the flow of money—these economic crises are being strategically and systematically led and guided by a small group of sovereign invisible world leaders who have called the debt-in; this was only a test run and a drill for what is to come, because the actual Fall of America is nearing. These powerful hidden entities uses the likes of Wall Street and other world markets to give the appearance that the flow of money start and stop at Wall Street; this is the furthest thing from the truth. President Bush nor the United Congress have the power or authority to redirect the flow of money—these economic crises are being strategically and systematically led and guided by a small powerful group of sovereign world leaders who have decided to call the debt in.
Dr. Carroll Quigley explains in his book titled, "Tragedy and Hope" stated, "It must be felt that these heads of the world's chief central banks were themselves substantive powers in finance. They were not. Rather, they were the technicians and agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries, who had raised them up and were perfectly capable of throwing them down. The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers (also called 'international' or merchants bankers) who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks. . ."(Reference: Carroll Quigley;” Tragedy and Hope" pg. 326-7).
These powerful hidden entities uses Wall Street and other world markets to dish-out crumbs in order to keep a system of classism well oiled and intact and simultaneously fuel this antagonistic contradiction, which keeps labor invigorated and keeps the illusion that the perception of money or wealth is attainable for all societal participants. Thus, but only allowing a few to appear as tokens of economic success and keep the others always reaching up. The false economic model is designed to keep labor (the have nots) voluntarily and willingly accepting their enslavement with little resistance—having life time aspirations of pursuing a monetary instrument that has no real value. But functions as the medium exchange, which in reality, it only totally benefits those who have the power to assign its value. (Reference: G. William Domhoff; "Who Rules America?").
The only use and value that we have to the invisible rulers is our labor and even that is beginning to wane and depreciate in value to them. So you would think it to be logical for the political experts and the United States Congress to summons and subpoena those persons, be it the owners of the Central Banks or sovereign individuals into the halls of Congress and question them as it pertains to the American economic crises and ask them, what are their motives for and behind the devaluation of the United States Dollar and other world currencies? The writer is being a bit idealistic and is only posing this as a rhetorical question in order to stimulate thought.
However, they desire for us to believe that our system of credit had exceeded the availability of hardcore currency (remember the Invisible Rulers and the Central Banks had stolen the world's gold and silver along time ago; their paper money has been floating for almost 80 years, neither back by gold or silver) and it is this variable that is leading to deflating and flatten of the U.S. Dollar, which is causing this economic recession.
Yet, since 1913, the United States Government and citizens handed over our monetary system to a small but powerful group of international bankers—given them sovereign authority to print money and determine the value thereof. Although, this arrangement was then and still remains unconstitutional. Constitution states in Article 1, section 10 that "No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payments of debts" Congress does not have the power to coin money, Article 1, Section 8, but since it can't make anything but gold and silver coins a tender for debts, nothing printed on paper is by Constitutional definition and federal law, legal tender or lawful money. The United States in 1933 abandoned the managed gold standard.
Perhaps as early as 1913 the United States Constitution had become a worthless piece of paper and we know that its Framers in 1784 constructed its language to serve and protect the legal interest of the Elite White male property owners. Some of us marvel over the so-called universal language written within, and relish in the fact that these Freemasonic inspired and enlightened public servants and legislators had also the common man’s interest front and Center, we at the Keeping it Real Think Tank definitely do not accept that contention. (Reference: David Barton; "The Question of Freemasonry and the Founding Fathers”).
The motivation of money has always been top priority in the establishment of our republic. (Reference: Charles A. Beard; "An Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution”). The Federal Reserve is an auspices of the twelve Central Banks, which has privately regulated and controlled our monetary system outside of the parameters of the govern body of the United States Government and with out any legislative or executive oversight. This gigantic monster was allowed to function with no due diligence restraints and without governmental oversight. (Reference: Eustace Mullins; "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve”).
The so-called Conspiracy Theoreticians had been warning and sounding the alarm for many years; Carroll Quigley, William Cooper, Gary Allen and Larry Abraham, David Icke, John Coleman, Henry Ford, etc., and many more, but we had ignored the alarm relative to the sinister agenda of the private international bankers. These above visionaries had informed us that the invisible rulers would eventually wreck our economy by one day calling in the outstanding debt. Some of us who study alternative history were not a bit surprised about this latest Wall Street economic fiasco.
This has been in the making for some time—this $700 billion dollar bailout is just a test run to check the pulse of the American people and the global society and we have failed dismally because their were no real resistance—they use panic and fear, as a barometer to measure human reactions to their orchestrated oppressive ploys. (Reference: Henry Ford: "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem")
Thus, when the bottom really dropout it is going to make the Great Depression of 1929 look like child's play. The Invisible Rulers are just fine tuning their strategy and preparing to call the debt in and they are also prepared for the fallout which will result into social mayhem and this will be dealt with by U.S. Government declaring Marshal Law on its own citizens. (Reference: Ravi Batra; "The Great Depression of 1990”).
It is a big joke and media deception, as we watch the controlled corporate media create this illusion for the American people; charade United States Treasury Department Secretary Henry Paulson out front; moreover, as though he is factoring into this $700 billion dollar bailout plan for some of the most prestigious and wealthiest banks and financial investment firms in the world. Secretary Paulson has no authority to mandate and/or make demands or recommendation to the Federal Reserve. Paulson is just window dressing and is only a very low-level operative puppet. These type decisions are way above Bush, Paulson and the entire United States Congress pay grades. The real monetary decision makers are hidden behind the Bank of International Settlements located in Basel, Switzerland, which is the mother bank of the Central Banks. The United States Treasury Department can be equated to a bank without money, which is a worthless treasury that can be liken to only a symbol without real substance.
Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, the U.S. Congress and the U.S. President are talking tough and strong language relative to regulating and reforming banking and finance on Wall Street. There is a lot of conversation about creating new oversight legislation and enforcement policy to so-called ensure the public that they are working to put safety nets in place to protect the people from ever having to absorb this type of private debt again, what eventually will factor into being a three trillion dollar bailout of the corporate Elite, when it is all said and done.
There is still nothing in place that would prevent the reoccurrences of this same type economic situation from happening tomorrow. Those that induce this panic still possess all the power and control over our monetary system and they are not going to relinquish it no time soon. But has anyone notice, that there has not been any talk of reforming and restructuring the Federal Reserve System. This writer wonders, why? (Reference: William Greider; “Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country”).
There lies the real problem; the wise amongst us know that as long as, this illegal Cartel continues to have control over the money, they essential hold the life blood to humanity. The Central Bankers are deemed the untouchables and answers to no one but themselves. This writer will let you in on a little secret; the United States Government has no authority or legal ability to make any decision relative to the Federal Reserve.
The American Declaration of Independence gives us some beautiful instructions and it is about time we take heave. It stated, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Government are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR ABOLISH IT, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed will dictate that Government long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experiences hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT, and to provide new Guards for their future security." (Reference: The United States Declaration of Independence the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776).
The so-called stiffening of regulation on Wall Street is just like putting a band aid on cancer. This will not cure the cancer; the disease will continue to spread until it is properly dealt with. The financial disease has its origin with the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks this is the root cause of the United States financial institutions collapse. Senator Obama nor John McCain will not utter one word pertaining to reforming perhaps the most powerful entity in the world the Federal Reserve System; any such criticism will automatically represent political doomsday for either candidate which will bring an automatic end to there political careers and possible lose their lives.
Thus, keep this in mind the United States Congress has no authority to even ask for an audit of the Federal Reserve records. No, one has asked the question; why was President George Bush in such a hurry and rushing and possessing this sense of urgency of getting this $700 billion dollars bailout money to so-called financially rescue these wealthy banking institutions?
This writer is of the opinion, that this represented Bush's final act and Crown Jewel, which will complete the covert goal of stripping the American people and further enslaving us (and our unborn children) for next fifty (50) too one hundred (100) years. The hidden paymasters will say to him, "My loyal and faithful servant Job well done”. Perhaps, this writer is the only one who has noticed this; Bush asked the American people to bailout these financial institutions, which we have incurred a debt for at least the next five to six generation that is yet unborn. Why did not he just end the unjust war in Iraq which is another U.S. Taxpayers burden?
This would represent billions of dollars that the government could save. No, one said, "Mr. President the U.S. Taxpayers are already over extended, why not ease this enormous economic, political and social burden by ending the Iraq War?" This should have been a pre-condition made by the United States Congress on the president before agreeing to earmark $700 billion dollars of the taxpayers’ money to bailout these den of thieves. Bush and the hidden Elitist are making huge sums of money off the war in Iraq, war is very, very profitable and it is even more profitable if the booty is the most valuable commodities in the world—oil.
The Congress debating this issue was more for duping the American public by giving them the appearance that these Congressional lawmakers are being sensitive to the legitimate political aspirations of its ignorant constituents. They are only part of the con game. There was no real Congressional resistance to this bailout because many of these high level and ranking politicians were put in office by Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Bear-Sterns, JP Morgan, AIG, Wachovia, etc. This writer hopes that you did not think by exercising your civic duty of voting and participating in the electoral process that it is because of you that these lawmakers are stationed in their privileged positions, it was not your vote that got these vultures were they are politically. The powerful financial institutions have all your elected officials in their hip pocket.
The $700 billion dollar bailout had already been conceded upon months before the U.S. Congress went into close session. It had been rubber stamped some time before the artificial crises would manifest itself to the American people. The Subprime crisis was created by the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks to foster American societal panic, which creates fear and uncertanity and it allows these Chessboard moves to be carried out with little to no resistance from the masses. The United States Congress so-called debate was a deceptive ploy and smokescreen to further bait the American people into further rendering their freedoms. This reactionary move seals President Bush's role as the low level operative that was put in place to alter and deliver a brave new world to the invisible Elitist.
The American economic crises was induced in which to hold a nation hostage and give the appearance that the U.S. Economy is on the verge of collapsing and used propaganda machines (media) and the political and economic talking heads to convince the ignorant masses that we were going to be effected adversely, if we did not agree to this $700 billion dollar heist popular referred to as the bailout. Both the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Service should be outlawed, These Robber Barons have now taking their long arms and reached into the pockets of an unborn future generation and had already tapped unmade wealth. Yes, history bears witness that the same faces and players—the money changers consistently keep on reoccurring at every turn in the history of humanity; this writer does not believe this to be coincidental.
The U.S. Congress and the president do not give damn about the interest of the American people. What is it going to take before we wake the hell up? The same bloodsucking Cabal the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the Morgans and their blood descendents with this latest Wall Street crises decided to take another move on the chessboard, which is slowly calling the debt in. (Reference: Arthur Koestler Thirteen Tribes).
After-all it is their money or at least their illusion—now on the Unites States side of this issue, they will soon declare our Federal Reserve notes valueless and obsolete—no longer to be accepted as the medium of exchange, but this recent induce panic is causing people to start stock piling Federal Reserve notes and after purchasing all this worthless paper, they will soon find out they have nothing. Thus, the invisible rulers will come out and declare your Federal Reserve notes as being unredeemable as an exchange note to be used for commodities—goods and services.
This writer would ask you to just reason with him for just a moment; on September 11, 2001 the entire world was altered due to a United States induce catastrophe , which made one of the greatest appeals to the fears and exposed the psychological vulnerability of a spoil and disengaged people. They led us down the road of National Security and used the media to paint the religion of Islam and Muslims as terrorist and the natural enemies of the West and was inherently evil. (Reference: Richard Nixon; "A Challenge to Being a One World Superpower").
The Bush administration convinced us that we needed better public policy and a legal arsenal to deal with this so-called new war—terrorism and forty-three (43) days after 9/11 the U. S. Congress passed the United States Patriot Act, perhaps the most reactionary piece of legislation in the history of America. This legislation rendered the United States Constitution as being a thing of the past and was replaced by this new document that established "New Rules" which noticeably took out the "Rights" of the American citizens that was so-called granted and guaranteed under the old U.S. Constitution.
The United States Government since 9/11 feel they can do what ever they want because the people's will to fight and resist have been compromised by a false sense of materialism and many still believe even at this late date that the government holds the interest of its citizens as top priority, of course we at the Keeping It Real Think Tank believe and think just the opposite. President Bush was used to strip the American people of their civil liberties, he used innocent young soldiers to colonize Iraq and carryout an imperialistic agenda of stealing oil. Thus, after stealing oil—the consumers are paying more at any in time in history of our nation for this commodity; and lastly, they heisted $700 billion dollars from the American people which was gift wrapped for the most wealthiest sector of our society—big business and then mandated that the slaves pay for their future enslavement. I am from the streets and where I am from the brothers would call this ordeal blood raw. (Reference: James M. Day; "What Every American Should Know about the Mid East and Oil").

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR ABOLISH IT, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed will dictate that Government long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experiences hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT, and to provide new Guards for their future security." (Reference: The United States Declaration of Independence the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776).
The so-called stiffening of regulation on Wall Street is just like putting a band aid on cancer. This will not cure the cancer; the disease will continue to spread until it is properly dealt with. The financial disease has its origin with the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks this is the root cause of the United States financial institutions collapse. Senator Obama nor John McCain will not utter one word pertaining to reforming perhaps the most powerful entity in the world the Federal Reserve System; any such criticism will automatically represent political doomsday for either candidate which will bring an automatic end to there political careers and possible lose their lives.
Thus, keep this in mind the United States Congress has no authority to even ask for an audit of the Federal Reserve records. No, one has asked the question; why was President George Bush in such a hurry and rushing and possessing this sense of urgency of getting this $700 billion dollars bailout money to so-called financially rescue these wealthy banking institutions?
This writer is of the opinion, that this represented Bush's final act and Crown Jewel, which will complete the covert goal of stripping the American people and further enslaving us (and our unborn children) for next fifty (50) too one hundred (100) years. The hidden paymasters will say to him, "My loyal and faithful servant Job well done”. Perhaps, this writer is the only one who has noticed this; Bush asked the American people to bailout these financial institutions, which we have incurred a debt for at least the next five to six generation that is yet unborn. Why did not he just end the unjust war in Iraq which is another U.S. Taxpayers burden?
This would represent billions of dollars that the government could save. No, one said, "Mr. President the U.S. Taxpayers are already over extended, why not ease this enormous economic, political and social burden by ending the Iraq War?" This should have been a pre-condition made by the United States Congress on the president before agreeing to earmark $700 billion dollars of the taxpayers’ money to bailout these den of thieves. Bush and the hidden Elitist are making huge sums of money off the war in Iraq, war is very, very profitable and it is even more profitable if the booty is the most valuable commodities in the world—oil.
The Congress debating this issue was more for duping the American public by giving them the appearance that these Congressional lawmakers are being sensitive to the legitimate political aspirations of its ignorant constituents. They are only part of the con game. There was no real Congressional resistance to this bailout because many of these high level and ranking politicians were put in office by Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Bear-Sterns, JP Morgan, AIG, Wachovia, etc. This writer hopes that you did not think by exercising your civic duty of voting and participating in the electoral process that it is because of you that these lawmakers are stationed in their privileged positions, it was not your vote that got these vultures were they are politically. The powerful financial institutions have all your elected officials in their hip pocket.
The $700 billion dollar bailout had already been conceded upon months before the U.S. Congress went into close session. It had been rubber stamped some time before the artificial crises would manifest itself to the American people. The Subprime crisis was created by the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks to foster American societal panic, which creates fear and uncertanity and it allows these Chessboard moves to be carried out with little to no resistance from the masses. The United States Congress so-called debate was a deceptive ploy and smokescreen to further bait the American people into further rendering their freedoms. This reactionary move seals President Bush's role as the low level operative that was put in place to alter and deliver a brave new world to the invisible Elitist.
The American economic crises was induced in which to hold a nation hostage and give the appearance that the U.S. Economy is on the verge of collapsing and used propaganda machines (media) and the political and economic talking heads to convince the ignorant masses that we were going to be effected adversely, if we did not agree to this $700 billion dollar heist popular referred to as the bailout. Both the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Service should be outlawed, These Robber Barons have now taking their long arms and reached into the pockets of an unborn future generation and had already tapped unmade wealth. Yes, history bears witness that the same faces and players—the money changers consistently keep on reoccurring at every turn in the history of humanity; this writer does not believe this to be coincidental.
The U.S. Congress and the president do not give damn about the interest of the American people. What is it going to take before we wake the hell up? The same bloodsucking Cabal the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, the Morgans and their blood descendents with this latest Wall Street crises decided to take another move on the chessboard, which is slowly calling the debt in. (Reference: Arthur Koestler Thirteen Tribes).
After-all it is their money or at least their illusion—now on the Unites States side of this issue, they will soon declare our Federal Reserve notes valueless and obsolete—no longer to be accepted as the medium of exchange, but this recent induce panic is causing people to start stock piling Federal Reserve notes and after purchasing all this worthless paper, they will soon find out they have nothing. Thus, the invisible rulers will come out and declare your Federal Reserve notes as being unredeemable as an exchange note to be used for commodities—goods and services.
This writer would ask you to just reason with him for just a moment; on September 11, 2001 the entire world was altered due to a United States induce catastrophe , which made one of the greatest appeals to the fears and exposed the psychological vulnerability of a spoil and disengaged people. They led us down the road of National Security and used the media to paint the religion of Islam and Muslims as terrorist and the natural enemies of the West and was inherently evil. (Reference: Richard Nixon; "A Challenge to Being a One World Superpower").
The Bush administration convinced us that we needed better public policy and a legal arsenal to deal with this so-called new war—terrorism and forty-three (43) days after 9/11 the U. S. Congress passed the United States Patriot Act, perhaps the most reactionary piece of legislation in the history of America. This legislation rendered the United States Constitution as being a thing of the past and was replaced by this new document that established "New Rules" which noticeably took out the "Rights" of the American citizens that was so-called granted and guaranteed under the old U.S. Constitution.
The United States Government since 9/11 feel they can do what ever they want because the people's will to fight and resist have been compromised by a false sense of materialism and many still believe even at this late date that the government holds the interest of its citizens as top priority, of course we at the Keeping It Real Think Tank believe and think just the opposite. President Bush was used to strip the American people of their civil liberties, he used innocent young soldiers to colonize Iraq and carryout an imperialistic agenda of stealing oil. Thus, after stealing oil—the consumers are paying more at any in time in history of our nation for this commodity; and lastly, they heisted $700 billion dollars from the American people which was gift wrapped for the most wealthiest sector of our society—big business and then mandated that the slaves pay for their future enslavement. I am from the streets and where I am from the brothers would call this ordeal blood raw. (Reference: James M. Day; "What Every American Should Know about the Mid East and Oil").
